The CCI BR-2 Large Rifle Primers deliver match-grade consistency that precision shooters demand for competitive bench rest shooting. These primers feature enhanced sensitivity and uniform ignition characteristics that reduce velocity variations and improve group consistency at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
BR-2 primers undergo additional quality control steps beyond standard CCI primers, including individual weight sorting and flash hole consistency checks. The priming compound formula provides 15% more consistent ignition timing compared to standard large rifle primers. Each primer cup receives precision forming to maintain uniform internal dimensions that contribute to shot-to-shot consistency.
Key Features
- Match-grade priming compound for consistent ignition timing
- Individual weight sorting eliminates primer weight variations
- Compatible with all standard large rifle cartridges (.30-06, .308, .270, etc.)
- Brass cups formed to tighter tolerances than standard primers
- Sealed primers resist moisture and contamination
- 1000-count packaging reduces cost per round for volume shooters
- Lot-to-lot consistency maintained through rigorous quality testing
Bench rest competitors rely on BR-2 primers to eliminate ignition variables that can open groups at 100, 200, and 300 yards. The enhanced sensitivity works effectively with both ball and stick powders, providing reliable ignition in temperature extremes from -20°F to 150°F. Long-range precision shooters report improved extreme spread numbers when switching from standard primers to BR-2s in cartridges like .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor.
