Heard about them? I haven't even heard of them. :confused: Who is the mfg? With the primer shortage apparently over not to sure I would mess with them until I learned a bit about them such as reliability, repeatability etc. Not such a good price if in the hunting field and the round doesn't go bang.

Looks like they are made in Bosnia.
I would want to try 100 first to see how consistant they are.
I have had some issues with Tula LP being a bear to seat in some cases. They
Seem to be a tiny bit larger and that causes some issues. They do go bang 100 %

Name brand still get under $30/1000 regularly. That said, some of the less expensive alternatives like Tula have been excellent.

Bosnia, isn't that where the excellent Prvi-partisan ammo and brass is made?

Neighbors, both part of the former Yugoslavia.
If it was me I would give some a go, see how they are, and consider a bunch more.

Been in business since 1951 seems like at some point many of us have shot at least some of their products .
On the other hand Germany isn't too picky about about what they use to blow up the millions of tons of ordinance we dropped that didn't go off in 44-45' .

During/after the threat of UN intervention in Serba shortly after their Olympics hosting Germany took delivery of 6-700 seavans of mat'l probably close to 6,000,000 lb of Tritonal "donor" mat'l in it's OM Korietnam cases .

Did you know that Berlin averages 2 detonations/day 356/year to remove Allied ordinance and that the amount dropped in April , May or June of 1945 would would fill a train line 125 miles long plus locomotives . That quarter , including locomotives would have been a train that stretched from Sacramento to SLT or El Paso to San Antonio plus .

Those look like a bargain . I bought some #41 in the 5,000 arsenal pack about 3 yr ago seems like I paid $146 . They are probably like the #41&#34 for the rifle primers and something similar for the pistol primers maybe a standard rifle cup ?

A friend asked me about these a couple weeks ago. I hadn't heard of them. Makes me wonder if he ordered any. Attractive price, especially for plain base loads.

I am not associated with the seller. If you use google look up st auctions. It shows a link directly to GB and there sales. He always has lots of 5K of mixed brand lots primers. Usually they go for under 100$.
