That means they are accepting the liability of loading ammo with the "wrong" primers. Think they'd do that if there was ANY appreciable difference? Obviously the answer is a big NO WAY.
I have not heard of CCIs BYOP program. Can you share a link?

Supervel has a BYOP program although it has some important limits you need to understand before you start mixing and matching primers.

The BYOP program is limited to certain pistol cartridges:

- 9mm 115 gr FMJ;
- 9mm 124 gr FMJ;
- 9mm 147 gr;
- .40 S&W 180 gr FMJ; and
- .45 ACP 230 gr FMJ.

Also bear in mind the primers they allow are:

- small pistol;
- small magnum pistol; or
- small rifle.

For .45 ACP they only allow large pistol or magnum pistol primers - no rifle primers.

They *do not* allow small magnum rifle primers, nor the NATO equivalent in the 9mm or .40 S&W or large rifle in the .45 ACP.

Finally, they limit primers to the following brands:
-CCI,
-Federal,
- Remington,
- GINEX,
- GENEX,
- Magtech,
- FIOCCHI,
- Murom, or
- Sellier and Bellot.

——

In short, they swap primers for selected loads in reasonably small capacity, high load density cartridges using a powder or powders that are not primer sensitive, with strict limits primer types and brands.
