CCI BR2 and CCI BR2 EU large rifle primers

[Jelen]

Just seen these advertised. Zero stock of BR2 but the BR2 EU are in stock. I've only ever seen BR2's before.
Have CCI got a European production facility now? And does anyone know if there is a physical difference in performance?

Show us please. No idea what this is aboiut.

my guess would be that they are being made in the EU for CCI, but not by CCI and then packaged as such.

Me neither! The shop has zero stock of the usual CCI BR2 but had plenty of the CCI BR2 EU (Product ID: CCI-10EU).
I'll phone them on Monday and ask.

Hopefully they’ll do a BR4 and the price for those won’t be so bloody ridiculous

It's Dauntsey Guns.

Their website is a bit higgledy-piggledy, supposedly like the shop, but at least it is up to date with stock etc.

They have evidently made a 'new product' due to the price rise I think. Probably easier than changing the price everytime.

Yes, Dauntseys. the price is the same (£13.33) for both types of BR2's. Strange.

13 quid for 100 primers??? EU, non-EU, US, whatever. This is a rip-off.

new normal, the way tax and margins work out, it's usually US $ price 1-1 with the £ by the time it gets here.

$14 or more is what BR2 and 4 are going for Stateside atm... if they can be found!

looking at their website that is plus vat so £16.00 per 100

And Viht power has now reached £100 a tub... its been £82 a tub for the last 5-6 years I believe, so the initial jump / increase was expected and understandable... £100

Luckily I bought a bulk tub of N160 just after Christmas, seeing as it’s now gone from £280 to £315… will keep me sorted for a while, but shoot both .260 and 300 Win Mag with N160.

 

[takbok]

Bought some BR2 primers for £18/100 from the sharks in Inverness last month.

I wonder if the BR2 EU version is just something with a slightly different priming mix composition, to get around all the new environmental requirements that went into effect?

Would seem to be the most logical reason for a difference...
