Well with Fuel prices etc.. I am kinda stuck with what primers are available locally in a smaller town...

for the 223, I pretty much use WSRs...

For the centerfires with a 473 bolt face and magnums, I usually pick up the CCIs at BiMart, the only place that they are available at a "low" cost, If that is what you call current primer prices...

some folks are pretty picky on primers..

winchester, CCI, Rems and Federals, all seem to work just fine for me.. with none really adding superior results and none offering less than good results..

the IMR 4198 load mentioned above has been used with CCI/LR, WLR, WMR, Fed 210, Fed 215, and Rem 9 1/2 and 9/2 Mag primers..

no variations were observed...
