jcc7x7 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Doesn't matter I use both, usually sm rifle as they are easier to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Whatever you can your hands on. Federal have been hard to come by. I'll think I'm going to get small rifle on my next order. It seems a lot of people use them for pistol and rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatsme Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 so if you have the choice between Magnum pistol or Small rifle which ones? regular small pistol can be bad depending on pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparnut88 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I ran about 180pf for a long time with fed sr primers. Got some umc sr gave to me and had one rupture. So now I only use fed sr for major and I use what ever I can get for minor. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremyc_1999 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I typically like federal primers, but after having availability issues, I have been using Winchester small rifle primers and they have been working well. I'm considering switching over to winchester, but the only reason is because of the packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB rifle are they only primers that I could not make work short of a 22# mainspring. Pistol were as good as Winchester, not as sensitive as Federal. The price was definitely right.

zzt Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I prefer CCI 500. I get better SDs with them over the WSP. They are slick and always round so they work extremely well in a primer tube filler. They always go bang. I do have some WSP, but I don't like them. They are often out of round and jam up the primer tube filler, plus the are harder to seat. I have to use then for one CZ, because the 13 lb mainspring won't reliably fire CCI. As soon as I can find a 15 lb spring, I'll switch it and go to all CCI. I have nothing against Federal, except they come in huge boxes. 20,000 of them take up an enormous amount of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knguyen1904 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I used to use federal small magnum pistol with no issues but have recently switched to win small rifle cause of availability. Have shot maybe 3-4K rounds and have been reliable with a 17lb mainspring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
