    At the price they have CCI/Fed , you are saving about $15 per thousand aprox , I would use the US made ones , you are only looking at these due to low stocks of US primers , I used some of the Russian primers yrs ago that a mate gave me , I loaded them into a std 308 load I use , 175gr SMK bullet on top of 45gr of 2208 , and the primers looked like they could not handle the pressure , they where flattened totally .
    As a result of that testing ( 5rds ) , I did not load any more ammo with the russian primers .
    In short you will probablily get mixed veiws on wether these are any good , to me in rifles , not worth the risk .
    In pistols , at lower pressure they maybe OK .

    Later Chris
