I use Win primers almost exclusively. I did get a great buy on S and B primers a few years ago. They worked just fine, but I am just about out of them. CCI mag primers when I am trying variations on a theme.

I hope no one has abandoned Win primers because of a former bump in the road. Winchester has the bad lot no lists which you can get anytime.


Yeah, I kinda did, though they certainly treated me fairly. I was put off a bit because they didn’t put out the lot numbers so retailers could take them off the shelves too. Mainly, I bought a bunch of other brands and will likely only need to buy a limited number of LRs in the future. The list you mention is probably not needed after so much time has passed, but is also of no use when buying online.

Actually, the Winny primer whoopsie is why I now have plenty of primers of all types during this crunch.


No worries. smile

I have a line on some S&B primers. I haven't bothered with keeping too many brands here. It reduces the possibility that I might use a brand other than what I worked up.

WRT H414, there are plenty of "close enoughs" around these days. I am glad that we have so many choices. Except for competition loading, I only keep testing if I am having difficulty getting a cartridge or bullet to settle in around an inch or an inch and a half. Or if a new powder hits the shelves.

Safe Shooting!
