The Federal Champion Small Pistol Primers #200 deliver consistent ignition performance for handloaders working with small pistol cartridges. This bulk packaging provides 5,000 primers (5 boxes of 1,000) for serious reloaders who demand reliability and value in their ammunition components.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Champion primers feature a lead-free initiating mix that burns cleaner than traditional primer compounds. The anvil design creates uniform flame distribution across the powder charge, resulting in more consistent velocities and improved accuracy. These primers maintain their sensitivity and reliability across temperature extremes from -20°F to 150°F, outperforming many standard primers in adverse conditions.
Key Features
- Lead-free initiating compound reduces barrel fouling and toxicity
- Consistent cup thickness ensures uniform ignition timing
- Compatible with all major small pistol cartridges (.380 ACP, 9mm, .38 Special, .357 Magnum)
- Temperature stable from -20°F to 150°F operating range
- Sealed primer pocket prevents moisture contamination
- Bulk packaging of 5,000 primers reduces per-unit cost
- Individual boxes of 1,000 allow for organized storage
These primers excel in competitive shooting applications where shot-to-shot consistency determines match outcomes. Law enforcement agencies specify Federal primers for duty ammunition due to their proven reliability in critical situations. The clean-burning formula reduces maintenance intervals for high-volume shooters, while the consistent ignition characteristics support precision handloading for both target shooting and personal defense applications.
