Matt,
As you know I used Lapua Palma brass with the small primer for my 6.5 SLR.
Im running it in a early 90s Stolle Teddie.Thats got a nice big fat fireing pin.
This is from before the small fireing pin craze hit.
It goes bang every time.
I ran 22 CHeetahs for decades based on 308 BR brass with the small primer and never recall having any problems either.
Nice old 40x with the sloppy sloppy firing pin and a Stolle Teddy with the big pin as well....
The thing is.
It was and is pretty much always above 40 degress when im usuing it.
I think a 6.5 Creedmore with a small primer is a great idea.
Lapua should get a attaboy.
Heck, I might even build one now for my next 1000 yard rifle.
Anyone who uses small primers on 308 size cases for any kind of serious hunting is a [bleep] retard and should be banned from owning guns....
...How was that Bob?

Only accurate rifles are interesting.
