[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 957122, member: 63748"] The main reason why I will shoot Lapua Palma 308 brass is for velocity spreads after confirming velocity spreads with regular Lapua 308 brass. If the Palma spreads seem to be improving then I will use the Palma brass. In some cases, the Palma brass with the small rifle pockets showed slightly lower spreads. I’m currently using Federal 205m and have not had an issue with the primers. Loads also were similar between the Palma and regular brass using either the 210m or 205m primers. Many competitive shooters are also using Russian Tula or Wolf SRM primers with good success. CCI 450 and BR4 are another alternative. I have also had very good luck with BR4 primers in Palma brass. Most LR primer cup thicknesses are .027”. If I’m not mistaken all small rifle cup thicknesses are less than this. Pressure issues with LR primers switching same load to Palma brass may not solve this problem but rather make matters worse. As always with any component change it is wise to work the loads back up.
