Precision primers,
perfect performance.
Discover a new manufacturer of centerfire primers in northern Idaho. Hand-loaders, rejoice—your quest for large-rifle primers ends here.
Introducing Prime Munitions:
Centerfire primers made without
compromise by Bill of Rights absolutists.
We spent years enginering rock-solid tooling and processes to produce performance and reliability you can depend on. We currently manufacture large rifle primers. Stay tuned as we expand our production into the other standard sizes: large pistol, small rifle, and small pistol.
Reliable Centerfire Primers
We use NATO-standard test procedures to ensure military-grade reliability of our primers.
Precision Manufacturing
The brass primer components are produced by Prime Munitions with dimensional control tighter than SAAMI specifications.
Commitment to Quality
We conduct thorough quality-control inspections at each stage of production. Statistical analysis ensures consistent dimensional fit and sensitivity.
Good Chemistry
Our primers utilize non-corrosive lead styphnate as the primary explosive. Used in both military and civilian ammunition for over 70 years, it delivers dependable ignition across wide-ranging conditions.
Performance Through Precision
As a newcomer to the industry, we know our reputation depends on reliable, consistent performance. Nothing leaves production unless it meets industry dimensional and performance standards.
Sometimes you have to do it yourself.
Like most of you who hand-load ammunition, we never fully understood why primers have been in short supply for over a decade. The founder of Prime Munitions decided to take matters into his own hands. After three years of intensive engineering, toolmaking, and testing, we are ready to sell primers to customers in northern Idaho and northwestern Montana.
Testimonials from Our Customers
Explore testimonials from our customers detailing their experiences with our primers.
After years of waiting for primers, I was willing to try just about anything. I was surpised to find out about this new company making primers up in Bonners Ferry…I loaded a hundred rounds and ran them through my AR-10 without a misfire.

They’re not nickel plated like the Federals I’m used to, but they functioned the same.

Loaded a few 30.06, 308, and 338 Lapua…All bangs, no clicks.
