Back in the day that primers were non existent you had to use what you could get. Most of the time the Remington primers were the easiest to obtain. Many found out that tried them in magnum cases they had a better deviation factor at the cost of about 30 fps in velocity. The 215 primer that most are set on using is stuck in between. The Winchester is hotter and most of the time has higher velocities. Winchester primers would be my only choice with ball powders especially in cold weather. Now that primers are available we can all return to whatever we are biased to

I prefer Winchester over Remington's for the facts that have already been stated. Tula's are starting to be my favorite.
