The CCI 0012 Standard Large Pistol Primers deliver consistent ignition performance for handgun cartridges requiring large pistol primers. These No. 300 primers provide reliable ignition across multiple calibers with CCI's proven manufacturing standards.
What Makes This Different
CCI Standard primers feature a three-leg anvil design that ensures uniform primer seating and consistent ignition pressure. The copper-plated cups resist corrosion better than standard brass primers, extending storage life significantly. Each primer undergoes individual inspection during manufacturing, resulting in ignition rates exceeding 99.9% reliability in factory testing.
Key Features
- Large pistol primer size compatible with .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, and similar cartridges
- Three-leg anvil design provides consistent ignition pressure and primer seating
- Copper-plated cups offer superior corrosion resistance compared to brass alternatives
- Non-corrosive, non-mercuric formulation safe for all barrel materials
- Individual inspection process ensures consistent dimensions and performance
- Bulk packaging in 1000-count boxes for high-volume reloaders
- Temperature stable from -20°F to 150°F operating range
These primers perform consistently across temperature extremes and storage conditions. Competition shooters rely on CCI primers for match-grade ammunition where ignition timing affects accuracy. Law enforcement agencies specify CCI primers for duty ammunition due to their reliability record. The stable burn rate works effectively with both fast and slow-burning powders commonly used in pistol cartridges.
