Sellier and Bellot Small Rifle Primers

[TonyR]

Wasn’t sure where to put this, will these work for loading .223 rem and .300 blackout? Having a hard time finding primers and these are available. Thanks

I have not used these primers but they should work fine. If they are designated small rifle the cups should be plenty hard enough. I have read that some folks have had issues with these primers, like failure to ignite. If you can get them at a reasonable price, I would try them.
For what it's worth, I do not like their brass. I have had issues with it, seems to be slightly out of spec in some instances.

I use S & B large pistol primers and they are first class!

[WALLNUTT]

No problems with S&B primers. I've used them all. Cabela's used to run them on sale for $19 a thousand.

If you are working with mil spec brass make sure the primer pocket crimp is remove all the way. From my experience the S&B are a little more finicky to try to get into military brass than others. But yes I have used thousands of them in 5.56 base cartridges.

[farmbif]

they are shaped a little different and have problems in some primer feeders, just something to look out for. ive never used the small rifle ones but the pistol and lg rifle ive never had a problem.

Yes, they work just fine in 223. I typically use either AR-COMP or CFE and havent see any real changes with the load I originally developed with Rem 7 1/2. YMMV.

I'm about half way through 10,000 of the S&B Small Rifle and Small Pistol primers and haven't had one not go off yet. They're an excellent primer, but their shape is a little different than domestic primers, being that they're "flatter". I find them to be an excellent primer.

Hope this helps.

Work great, may be finicky in some progressive presses

Thanks everyone

Same here. Never had a problem with them.

[JimB..]

I have no problems with them except a little more difficult to seat in tighter, or not fully decrimped, pickets.

[45DUDE]

Like others-a little hard to seat. On a single stage like RCBS no problem.

[bangerjim]

No problems here with both small and large.

If you can find them today!

I remember buying some to test when they were on sale. Wish I had bought 100k now.

[BucolicBuffalo]

I like them. Been trying to purchase more for the past two years and could not find any.

[Burnt Fingers]

S&B no longer imports them.

[BIGOX]

I've reloaded around 800 rounds of .30 carbine using S&B srp without an issue on a single stage.

I found some of those on an online search a few weeks ago and was ready to buy them. Turns out the company selling them was Canadian and could not/ would not ship to the USA.

Good luck and let us know if there are more....
