[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1210076, member: 4191"] The article I read determined that the CCI 450 generated higher MV than the Rem 7 1/2 primers, with equal powder charges. I think that means the CCI 450 jump-started the powder at a faster rate than the 7 1/2s. He collected lots of MV, ES/SD information with 4-5 different primers and several different powders. He was testing the Nosler 64gr Bonded Performance, flat nose bullet, that's constructed similar to the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet. When all was said and done, the author got best results/consistency with the Rem 7 1/2 primer with CFE223 powder, compared to the other primers he tested. There was enough testing performed that I'm leaning toward the Rem 7 1/2s when I next purchase .223 primers. Not trying to be the downer on the CCI 450s, since you have so many of them. But the CCI 450 was about his worst performing primer when it came to consistency, ES/SD, and accuracy with the 64gr Nosler Bonded solid base bullet. Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. I just located the link to the article from AR15.com. I saved (bookmarked) the link, since I'd purchased some of these Nosler bullets and will be loading some myself fairly soon. I think you stated that this is one of the two bullets you'll be loading. If so, this article will have a lot of good reference material to guide you in working up your own loads.
