    ZSR small pistol primers

    Recently I received an email ad with Zsr small pistol primers, for the best price I've seen in a long while.
    I did a Google search and found these are Turkish, but not much else about them.
    Has anyone tried these primers?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.
    At 140 looks, and only 1 reply, I take it not many have tried these. The price is good, for resent times, but I'm not sure I want to go for a case of unknown.
    Thanks.

    CCI's are starting to show up for around 90-95 per K. I might just hold out if you are not sure. Good luck on whatever you decide to go with.

    I bought CCI small pistol at $79.95 bullets yesterday at Scheels in Sioux Falls. I need to replace a box I borrowed from my brother. hc18flyer

    I never told anyone this. For 25 years I only used Fiocchi Primers only. Dirt cheap and everyone made a bang.

    I ordered 1 box of these to try and not one problem. Tested them in 380 bodyguard, 9s, 38sp, and an AMT backup 45 with small primer brass. Zero failure to fire. Very happy. Ordered 40 boxes for my club members. No issues. Turks are good at this stuff, ask any Armenian.

    I've said this many times, the U.S. isn't the only country that can make good primers. Some of the best groups and shooting I've done was with Wolf primers. Sure wish they would come back. I'm going to tell you another primer that rivals U.S. primer and Sellier & Bellot.

    At one time the US Marksmanship Training Unit used either Wolf or Tula primers for their HP rifle loads
