Is there one brand of primer superior to others?

Whichever your rifle prefers.

At this point, it boils down to what you can acquire.

CCI BR2 would like to think they are the best. At least they price them that way. QC is supposed to be more stringent.

Positively not! Switching primers is the last thing I do to settle on a load. There is no predicting which the firearm will prefer.

Lately all I can find (and ordered) are Rem 9 1/2M, Wi 8 1/2 and Win 8 1/2M. I was able to get BR2 also.

I prefer Fed primers, but I'll try win, rem, and cci also... Usually in that order...

Actually BR primers are supposed to ignite the powder less violently, hence with a weaker ignition, more gentle . I personally want more flame

I have rifles that like Remington, others CCI and others Federal. Never tried Winchester, though I have some

Winchester lrm and fed 215's often act nearly identical in a load... regular wlr are a bit milder, but a bit hotter than cci standard or 210's from what I've seen.

From the research I have done on this topic, Federal 210 match come up as the preferred choice.

They're supposed to be the cat's meow, but doesn't always come true. Mostly due to others following in the same train tracks. Now being derailed off of cci and will be finding out how br2, win8 1/2, win8 1/2m and rem9 1/2m will fare against other proven rounds. Looks like square 1 for me! I've also never used any #34 or #41's before. I've only used 200, 400 and 450's in AR's.
