Federal Champion Small Pistol Primers - 1000 Count Box (5 Cases)

Federal Champion Small Pistol Primers deliver consistent ignition performance across multiple handgun calibers, making them the preferred choice for high-volume reloaders. This bulk packaging of 5,000 primers (5 boxes of 1,000) provides excellent value for competitive shooters and serious handloaders.

What Makes This Different

Federal's Champion primers feature a unique priming compound formulation that provides more consistent pressure curves compared to standard primers. The non-corrosive, non-mercuric composition burns cleaner and produces less fouling than many competitors. Each primer undergoes individual inspection during manufacturing, resulting in ignition rates exceeding 99.9% reliability.

Key Features

• Non-corrosive, non-mercuric priming compound for extended barrel life
• Compatible with .380 ACP, 9mm, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and other small pistol cartridges
• Consistent cup thickness of 0.020" for uniform seating depth
• Temperature stable from -40°F to +140°F operating range
• Individual quality inspection ensures 99.9%+ ignition reliability

These primers perform reliably across temperature extremes and various powder types, from fast-burning target loads to slower magnum powders. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent velocity spreads that contribute to tighter groups, while law enforcement agencies rely on their dependable ignition in duty ammunition. The clean-burning compound reduces primer pocket fouling, extending case life during multiple reloading cycles.
