SOLD/EXPIRED Natchez BR2 Large Rifle Primers

[Veteran]

Yes, BR2s have been $139 and up
Makes you wonder if they are worth it.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to shoot my first( in over a year) f class match next weekend. I've been worried about burning components that I can't replace. These primer prices are gonna hurt if you have to start paying that much.

If the accuracy is not terribly affected, seems to me Federal 210
or 215 or CcI 200 or 250 is something to try.

Match and Brs are asking a big premium.

Real performance or marketing?

I'm using very old Federal primers I bought locally- an estate deal. Paid next to nothing for a full box of 1,000. Been shooting them up the past few years. They go bang and I've even run them while doing a Peterson brass 'torture test'. Same 10 pieces of brass, lot of IMR4064 and old as dirt Fed 210's. Great SD/ES for a .308 and I'm on the 10th reload so far. They do the job.

I'm not mortgaging my left node for BR primers, lol.

Honestly, 1000 primers lasts me about 3 months for my personal shooting.

Gotta pay to play. Shooting is my vice.

Well yeah- I'm using those primers just for one rifle. I have 24,000 primers on hand to feed my 'family'. Pistols, small primer fed rifles... About 1/2 of what I have on hand came from local guys/estates getting out of reloading.
