These are the “bread-and-butter” of reloading, the most commonly called-for primers in reloading recipes. CCI standard primers are remarkably clean-burning, leaving primer pockets cleaner and extending the time between pocket cleaning. That’s a huge benefit for progressive reloaders. They are more sensitive and easier to seat than older CCI primers, and engineered for smooth feeding in automated equipment.

Some real-world shooting conditions require more aggressive initiation than provided by standard primers. Large cases, cold weather, and certain propellants often require a hotter primer flame and a longer burn. CCI Magnum primers offer you that edge, plus you get all the attributes that make all CCI primers so great.

In benchrest competition, there’s no such thing as a group that’s “too small.” Everything has to be tuned to the highest degree to produce match-winning results. That’s why the folks at CCI make CCI Benchrest primers. Only their most experienced skilled personnel put the priming mix in the cups, so you get the same flame, shot after shot. They also use specially selected cups and anvils for added consistency. An independent researcher identified the use of CCI Benchrest primers as one of two factors that were the most significant contributors to tiny groups. They can’t add much to that !

CCI made the muzzleloading world a lot brighter in 1975 when they introduced their #11 percussion caps. Why? They were non-mercuric, non-corrosive, and darned reliable. They've now expanded the line to four popular products. In addition to the #11, there’s the #11M with more power to light off replica black powders. For revolvers with smaller nipples, there’s their #10 cap. And for original and replica muskets and rifles that require large, winged caps, they have the Four Wing Musket Caps. When using any percussion caps for reenactment or demonstration shooting without a powder charge or bullet, only use nipples with a large internal diameter. Standard nipples intended for normal loads can clog when fired repeatedly without a powder charge, potentially causing the cap to fragment. CCI recommend a minimum internal diameter of 0.050 inch for nipples used without powder charges and bullets. Thoroughly clean nipples and the flame path during firing sessions. Always wear approved shooting glasses when firing any muzzleloading firearm.

CCI make two shotshell primers to cover your needs. CCI 209 primers are for field and target loads in all gauges. The CCI 209M is a true Magnum primer designed for heavy charges of slow-burning propellants. That makes the 209M a superb choice for waterfowl loads. Both use modern, non-corrosive, non-mercuric primer compounds for clean, sure ignition.
