Description
CCI #450 Small Pistol primers deliver the consistent ignition and quality control that reloaders expect from CCI. Manufactured with precision‑measured priming compound and strict quality checks, these small pistol primers are well suited for a wide variety of pistol cartridges and load types — from light practice rounds to full‑power defensive loads. Their uniform sensitivity supports repeatable ignition timing and excellent shot‑to‑shot performance, while the clean‑burning compound reduces residue and helps keep brass cleaner for reloading.

Typical packaging & usage notes
-
Often sold in hobbyist or bulk pack sizes — check product label or supplier listing for exact counts and packaging options in your market.
-
Primer choice affects ignition characteristics and pressures; always start at recommended reloading starting loads and work up while monitoring for pressure signs.
-
Store primers in a cool, dry place and handle with care — primers are sensitive explosive components and must be treated accordingly.
