Winchester 777 primers

[94user]

That's all I could find locally. Read some reviews online and have concerns. A few said they had some that didn't fire.Afew alsosaid the were the dirtiest primer they ever used. I'm not so concerned about them being dirty but I sure want it to go bang.

Can anyone tell me your experiences with these? They were a little pricey. I'll be pissed if one costs me a deer.

none at all and the only primer so far that upon firing i can extract easily....the others i have used expand in the breech plug and i have to pry them out.

Never had a problem with them. Worked just fine this am!!!

I've shot about 300 of them, and only recall one that didn't go bang. It was at the gun range, and I had shot about 30 shots, so I assumed I had something else goofed up.

I had a bad batch or something. I had a few that didnt go bang at all, and some that went bang and didnt ignite the powder. That has been a few years ago, so maybe they have gotten better. I switched to the Remmy Kleenbore ML primers and have had no problems.

Never had a misfire yet?

I won't ever use them again. I had 2 hang fires using 777 pellets.

 

[WTM]

on my second hundred no misfires, but those packs were from the first run.

Same here.

Thanks to all. I feel good about them now.

They have worked great for me in the past using pyrodex and triple 7. With bh209 they aren't hot enough and have had a few not ignite the powder. After getting some cci 209m (I think 209m is right) primers I have found the 777 primers are much dirtier but of course never noticed that with the pyrodex and 777.

Worked for me 100% using 777 pellets. Virtually eliminated the infamous 777 crud ring (especially vs the Remington ML primers). Gave my remaining stash to a buddy when I switched to BH209 -- BH package specifically says don't use ML primers.

The one I used today worked!

All mine go bang.
