[QUOTE="imartin, post: 2517342, member: 106328"] I only have CCI SRP's 400 and 450. Opted for the 450 for a little extra heat. Just realized CCI 450 for 450 Bushmaster could have been subconscious, lol. Any specific reasons guys prefer win or rem primers? I've always used Fed or CCI for everything, which has been LR and LRM primers to this point. I'm also messing around with the 250 ftx since they are a fraction of the cost, so will help me familiarize myself with the rifle and cartridge, I hope. Steve from Hammer noted somewhere else that they recommend 1,800 fps minimum, but stated they haven't tested it below. So lower speeds are not necessarily off the table, but would need to see what it looks like. With a BC of .200 you don't get very far out before dropping below 1800 fps so will see how fast I can safely send them to extend the margins a bit. [/QUOTE]
