Any and all of them. Never found one to not go bang.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

If I was you, I'd be axing my gun writing neighbor if different SR primer cup thicknesses were intended for use at different pressures. Hint...

Well, I guess I should stroll downtown and grab me some more 400s, mmm? They surprised me, the first box I bought. Really consistent, but I should have known as I've been shooting Mini Mags since the late 1970s.

Remington 7.5 have are comparatively hot, and have a harder cup than most, as well as a slightly larger diameter. They can fill the most shoes well if you want just one.

Yep.....I use Rem 7.5's for just that reason but I'm only loading for 17cal bolt guns. I doubt that AR's give a chit. Well, I guess I should stroll downtown and grab me some more 400s, mmm? They surprised me, the first box I bought. Really consistent, but I should have known as I've been shooting Mini Mags since the late 1970s. CCI's hard to beat for general use and pretty easy to find. That's all I use in my hand guns..

Got two cases of remington 7 1/2 under the bench just waiting to light up the ARs. Another case of WSR for the bolt guns.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

CCI 450’s or 41’s, they’ll work in anything. The cup is too thin on 400’s and you’ll get piercing in high pressure rounds with a sloppy firing pin fit.

Not one mention of Federal or Winchester. I have shot thousands of WSR primers in loads that exceeded the published "maximum" and never had one not go off or blank. Same goes for Federal.

I'm sure some "expert" will tell me I'm wrong, and then go about proving it, but I've never seen any difference to speak of between primers. I've used CCI, Remington, Federal, and Winchester, having used mostly the first two. My late brother was a very avid reloader, and when he died I was given a lot of his reloading stuff, plus quite a bit of reloaded ammo. He used Wolf primers to load up a bunch of 223 and 6.8SPC ammo. Not only has every round gone bang, but the 6.8 stuff is scary accurate. I also have a bunch of Wolf primers, but have never used them.

For bolt and AR use. For fun and shtf? When the SHTF after the '08 election I bought case each of Tula small and large pistol and rifle that was 3.50 a box at the time. I never had an issue with Tula but I am not sure they are being imported now. Honestly, I would buy my preferred primer by the case and never look back, if the county gets nasty primers, even Tula will sell easy.

I have CCI and some S & B. I can’t find the S & B anywhere. When available I could find them on sale for the low 20$. Where are y’all finding the best deals?

The wolf small rifle mag work fine on .223 sized cases, but I found they are too cold for some uses. I loaded some .454 rounds with them and had some squibs, just not hot enough to cook off a case full of H110. I switched to federal and no more problems with the .454. I’ve shot thousands of rounds of .223/6.5 Grendel with various powders using wolf primers without issue. After reading this thread I might try som Remington next.

I would stay away from Wolfs. I have had too many misfires on guns with a weaker hammer strike. I personally like winchester and federal.

The CCI 41 is a MILSPEC primer designed for the AR. Unfortunately, they're around $10.00 higher a thousand on most of the retail sites.
