I have found both speed and accuracy to fall off with Remington 9 1/2s compared to CCI 200s, WLRs, and Fed.210s.

I mainly use RP 9 1/2M's and WLR's use WSP's and RP 1 1/2's. Also use RP 7 1/2's.

Seems to always be readily available and they have gone bang for me everytime.

Russian made Tula Large Rifle Magnums are what I use in everything except my .338LM. I use F215MM in it.


Luck....is the residue of design...

I'll be trying those when they get here from PVI. Also have their SR primers ordered. Any experience with them?

I use the Small Rifle Magnum in my BR rifle 6 PPC they are as accurate as anything being used in BR. Small pistol mag in my hand guns and large pistol magnum and large rife magnums they all shoot as well as anything else I've use. The chronogragh data also says they are as good.

I'll switch back to the American brands when they drop their prices to match Tula and Wolfe or come up with a primer that is more accurate than they presently are.

I like anything that works. Over the last 47 years I've tried most and they all worked fine. If the didn't, they wouldn't last long in the market.

Are match primers worth it for a hunter? I mean do they make much difference? also I have found very good accuracy with Ramshot Hunter a double base ball powder made in Belgium. It shoots better with Magnum primers in my 30-06. Buckfever1

I'm not sure match primers are even worth it in BR.

I had the same problem with some Rem. 91/2 primers. I put a few of the fired ones in an envelope and sent them to Rem. They offered to repair the rifle, but I didn't think the few divots would hurt anything, so I didn't send the rifle in.

They also explained they had come up with a new method for making the primer cup, and it was leaving a small crack or some type of weak place in the primer.

As far as I know, they recalled all of the ones that were defective.

I continued to use Rem. 9/12 primers ( not the same lot number), but a few years ago, I had some misfires with them. I switched to Federal and Winchester and haven't had any more problems.

Many years ago, when I fired in High Power competition, none of the shooters would use CCI large rifle because of misfires.

Maybe CCI has solved the problem since then. It was a long time ago.

I also shot in competition pistol, and none of the shooters would use Rem. 22 Rimfire because of misfires. These were the low velocity match cartridges.

I have used all of them with satisfaction. I have had the most mis-fires non-fires with Remingtons, but that's still only about 4 in about 40 or 50 thousand rounds... YMMV

Just a note that I was at my local reloading supply store today and there was absolutely no shortage of primers there.

100's of thousands of all brands and styles.

WLR and WLRM for all applications. I've used them all and settled on winchester.

Obviously the people in your area don't understand the gravity of the situation. wink

Friggin hoarders and scalpers are at it again. There's more primers, powder and MREs stored underground by the hoarders and rathole warehouses by the scalpers than an army could use in 10 years. And damn if folks don't fall for it and start paying 2 prices for things they had no interest in buying before the Chicken Little choir started to sing. An instance of the participants creating they're own crisis. Reminds me of a forcast for snow in the South. Everybody stocks up on milk and bread, like milk sandwiches are going to make all other problems go away.

Superior Shooters Supply in Superior Wisconsin.

Price is about what it was in the summer but very little is cheap at SSS.

Any of you fellas ever use RIO shotgun primers? Haven't been able to find any Winchesters.

I know, it's just a [bleep] shotgun, figured I'd ask anyway....
