Whats better?
I was at Wal-Mart last night and they have Winchester Triple Seven primers for 2.00 and Remington Cleanbore primers for 2.50. I called my dad and he wanted the remington, but I picked up the winchester because I shoot 777. I have been shooting the CCI shotgun primers with good results. So which is better, the Winchester 777, the remington cleanbore, or the CCI? Also got me another loading tip for 1.00. They were out of bullets only one pack of powerbelt platinums left on the shelf, and no more powder. But they had a pile of 209 primers.

I have used both primers and to tell you the truth I cannot tell any difference. As a matter of fact I cannot tell the diff between them and the reg 209 primer. Having said that I use the Win T7. Why I don't know. Some think they are better and they may be correct while some think it is a marketing tool to increase profits.

If my Wal Mart had them on sale like that I would not have worried which were better... I would have bought them out. Both of them will work fine with loose powder. With pellets, I like a little hotter primer like a Winchester W209. The Remington Kleenbore are my favorite for the loose powder shooting. I have never shot the new Winchester Triple Se7en primers.

I tried the Remington BP primer's. the Winchester BP primer's, and the standard Winchester 209 primer. The "crud ring" was the smallest with the Remington after one shot. It was the smallest, but it was still there. I can feel it with the cleaning jag, and you could feel the difference. The Remington also shot the best for me, but I will admit I spent most of my load developing time with the Remington. Tom.

As mentioned I would also clear the rack at those prices.
Not shot the WIN777's as they have been spendy where I have seen them.
As for the Rem Kleenbore's, I've shot several hundred withoutan issue.
