Just FYI & FWIW... I was looking through some shooting websites & found a post about a good price on SPP. A number of the members had ordered from the Normausa website & had good luck using the primers. Price is $49.99/brick with free shipping & hazmat on orders exceeding $150. These primers are manufactured in Argentina. I shoot mostly rifles so I have a good supply of SPP on hand already. As a disclaimer, I personally have not ordered from Normausa & I have not tried any of the primers. Note: One members said he ordered 2 bricks & he still got the free shipping deal. Another comment is that after ordering, you get an email with a 10% off code on your next order. One shooter complained of having FTF with the primers until he had to put his pistol's original firing-pin spring back in his gun. https://normausa.com/product/blowout/primers-b/small-pistol-primers-made-in-argentina/ ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/03/full-55403-415968-norma_primers.jpg)

Looks like you get free shipping with only two bricks for a total out the door of $108.23 shipped with tax.
Buy one brick and pay $19.95 shipping and no hazmat for a total of $75.71.
So ... buy one and get the second for $32.52.
Pass the gravy.

I ordered some and loaded up 100rds last week, 9mm. Shot them this past weekend and every one of them went bang. Plan to shoot a couple hundred more this weekend at a steel match.

Not quite as good of a deal as NormaUSA but reports are that the primers are good & site is legit & GTG. Astra Sports has 5k for $235 with $20 hazmat and no extra shipping. Best shipped price I've seen since Norma ran out. Astra Sports - SPP

I am joining the club, I ordered 5K 2 days ago. I have over 1K worth of bullets and brass to load up on the Dillon. That's usually a good reloading test in addition to actually shooting them. If they go through the progressive press smoothly I will be happy.
I am also shooting a load workup with Silhouette later today with 124 grain bullets. If it works across 3 pistols I will confirm it with the new primers and report back.

Resurrected thread. I have now shot over 600 rounds with these in 3 guns and all were 100% reliable and they work in the Dillon 650. Guns were a Browning HP, HK P30-LS, and a Staccato C OR. And I like Silhouette loaded near max with the 124 gr bullets.
