It only hurts for a little while.  W120s were my standard for .270 and briefly, the .243. F210M were for .308 loads. I never got into my supply of the new W120s, and picked up a bunch of regular 210s and now a brick of BR2s. BR2s and R15 have so far been the stars for my current .308, so I'll probably stick with them. Unlike the 210Ms, they can usually be had, at a price. Gotta wonder if the generally better availability of CCIs is related to the fact that they are less of a presence in the CF ammo market. I've read that the primers we get from the Big 3 are the leftovers from ammo production and given the situation in that market, they have fewer leftovers to sell as components.
What fresh Hell is this?

Check arrived in the mail for $100 for my 2,000 primers. I have been very satisfied with how this has been handled all the way along.

The brown truck showed up yesterday with 5,000 each WLR and WLRM.
No complaints.

Got one pack of old CCI marked $1.00.
When purchased, I was probably making $150 a week!
Locally, primers run about $30 to $50 a brick, with the CCI BRs at the top. Once I figure out what all the newer stuff I have likes, I may do a big web order that will smooth out the hazmat fee. Like to buy local when I can, but few dealers have much of a selection, especially of projectiles. Hard to beat those blem prices too! I still have multiple packs around or did last I looked of primers at a buck or under... I"m getting old...

Lot# BKL344G bit me this morning. Etched the bolt face on a 308 with a moderate load of IMR4895. I don't think that pressure was an issue as I was running them over a chrono at the time and under 2700fps with a 150gr bullet. I had already fired 500 from this brick with no problems so this was an unpleasant surprise. I have about 10k more WLRs in Lots from B, E, G and Y so I guess I'll be making the call. WLRs had been my go to primer for years and never a hiccup.
