The reason I suggest CCI is because I've been using them for over 20 years. In fact, Some of the ones I have are over 25 years old. I've never had a single problem with CCI's and I get excellent accuracy with standard primers (CCI400, CCI450, CCI200, CCI250). No need for bench rest or any other fancy primer as far as I'm concerned. I see it all the time though, the benchrest primers are just not worth the extra coin unless you are actually competing in top bench rest comps. I also ask: Why risk damage to your firearm by using any other brand like Winchester??? I'm not saying I don't shoot centerfire competition either, because I do a little of that too. When I post pics of groups like this, it's with regular ol CCI primers:
I don't just depend on reliable ignition from my primers, I expect it....:
