I’m not sure what you are reloading, but with small pistol primers there seems to be a big different in how hard the primers are to initiate - my Taurus LBP’s hammer isn’t strong enough for some of the brands.
Primers - Does Performance Vary Between Brands ?

Speak to your RFDs The only tiny get out is Edgars who have police / Military but that doesn't mean they will distribute all that comes in to private citizens and things will change for worse or hopefully better .

Probably too far for you, but Westlander were selling tonnes of S&B primers (at a very reasonable price) at the National Shooting show.

that's good to know as I have just gone from rws to cci
Yes. I found that CCI Large Rifle gave less extreme spread than did Remington 9 1/2 in my two .270 Winchester calibre rifles.
S&B are very good, the batch of magtech LR I have are hard, had failures to fire in various rifles.
I've sworn by S&B SR Mag primers for 6.5CM loads for five years or so.
I've recently started loading for 300PRC and so S&B LR Magnums were my go-to . . . very disappointing with failure to ignite the charge on most occasions (Vit N170) and hang-fires with Vit N568. The loads ignite fine with Magtech LR primers.

Here's my notes made in likely 2008. Rifle was likely a 23.5" barrel BRNO ZKK 600.
Hodgdon H4831 - 55 grains - .270 WCF - 150 grain Hornady Soft Point.
CCI Standard Large Rifle primer five rounds average velocity 2809fps with 30 fps E/S.
Remington 9 1/2 Large Rifle primer five rounds average velocity 2803 fps with E/S 116fps.

Completely untrue and a ludicrous suggestion.
I’ve used the LR magtech sun 300 PRC for a few rounds, no issues in that rifle to date.
The Magtech LR primers certainly work much better than the S&B LR Magnums in my 300PRC loads, but I'm getting an ES of about 40fps. I'm hoping that a hotter 'Magnum' primer will help get this down, if I can find any.

go find some American made primers then if you can as a civilian
That there’s a scarcity of American primers in the UK doesn’t mean that the US has designated the UK as a terrorist state.
What I refer to is the nonsense notion that the USA designated the UK as a terrorist state. I have no idea about primer sales and distribution in the UK, I cant find enough primers in my state now. I am sure that the demand for small arms ammo has been part of the shortages war time has always caused that.
