Federal 155 Champion Large Pistol Primers deliver consistent ignition performance for handloaders seeking reliable ammunition components. These non-corrosive, all-weather primers provide the foundation for accurate, dependable handgun cartridges across multiple calibers.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Champion primers feature a unique lead styphnate compound that ignites more uniformly than standard primer formulations. The anvil design creates optimal flame spread and pressure consistency, resulting in tighter velocity spreads compared to economy primers. Quality control testing ensures each primer meets Federal's strict sensitivity and power specifications.
Key Features
- Non-corrosive, all-weather formulation resists moisture and temperature extremes
- Lead styphnate compound provides consistent ignition across temperature ranges
- Compatible with .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 ACP, 10mm Auto, and similar large pistol cases
- Optimized anvil geometry ensures reliable flame transfer to powder charge
- Individual quality inspection maintains lot-to-lot consistency
- Standard large pistol primer dimensions: 0.210" diameter, 0.120" height

These primers perform consistently in competitive shooting applications where precision matters most. The stable ignition characteristics help reduce velocity variations that affect accuracy at extended ranges. Federal's manufacturing process maintains strict tolerances on sensitivity levels, ensuring reliable ignition with both light competition triggers and standard firing pin strikes. The non-corrosive formulation protects brass cases during long-term storage.
