Rifle primer question!

[SSgt G Cody]

In my experience, Win. and CCI primers are among the hottest. Same for their magnum versions, except even more so! For reliability reasons in very cold weather, I use magnum primers in all my workups. I only use regular primers in LR and Benchrest Aps, and only as needed! I also prefer temp-stable powders, for the most part! Then I work up loads accordingly! In the end, use the primer that is most accurate for your needs.

Anybody have a tried and true favorite on Primers? I need Large Magnum rifle primers, and suggestions, and maybe elaborate why? What is the difference between regular magnums and match grade? Consistency? .264 Win Mag, 7MM REM Mag, .338 Win Mag and .308 Norma Mag. Thank you in advance!

I use all Winchester in everything, but right now I'll take whatever I can find if I'm out of that size.

Any if you ever used CCI 200 or Remington 9 1/2 (large rifle) in a 300 win mag or wby mag? I have some rifles that it is exactly what they like with 180 grn bullets

Yes as long as it is extruded powders.Ball powders are a different animal as they need the extra ignition to fully burn.

I have only used cci in every reload I've done since '84 and never had a bad 1 or accuracy issue. 1 day I might try other brands? They've been better than a Swiss watch!

+1 to this /\ /\. CCI 200 LRP works great in my 300 WM with 180's for hunting and 208's for long range.
