Description CCI’s #400 Small Rifle primers are built to the same quality standards that reloaders and competitive shooters expect from CCI: tight manufacturing tolerances, consistent ignition characteristics, and clean, non‑corrosive priming compound. These small rifle primers are suitable for a wide range of pistol and rifle powders and loads where reliable, repeatable ignition is required — from precision match and hunting loads to high‑volume practice rounds. Key features & benefits Consistent ignition: Manufactured to tight tolerances for uniform primer sensitivity and consistent ignition timing, helping improve shot‑to‑shot uniformity. Clean‑burning compound: Formulated to minimize residue and corrosion risk for easier case cleaning and longer brass life. Reliable performance across loads: Designed to perform well with a broad spectrum of powders and charge weights common to small‑rifle reloading. Quality control: Produced under rigorous QC procedures to reduce misfires and variability — preferred by handloaders and small‑game hunters alike. Reloading friendly: New, Boxer‑style primer design (standard for CCI) that is reloadable and easy to seat in modern reloading presses. Typical packaging & usage notes Commonly offered in hobbyist and commercial pack sizes — check product label for exact counts and packaging in your market. Always test and develop loads carefully: primer choice affects pressure and ignition characteristics; start at recommended starting loads and work up while observing safe reloading practices. Store primers in a cool, dry place and keep away from heat sources. Handle with care — primers are sensitive explosive components and should be treated accordingly. Safety & legal noticePrimers are explosive components. Follow all manufacturer safety guidance and local laws for purchase, storage and transport. Use proper eye protection when reloading and never attempt to alter or modify primers. Keep primers out of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
