I've used CCI in the past but currently am using Winchester primers. Their standard primers are hotter then the CCI's so work better with the ball powders that I use.

For rifle I like Winchester, for hand gun it doesn't matter for SP, but for LP I like Winchester because WLP covers all loads.
I've had good service from Remington when I've used them.
I don't load at the 100+% level so changing a primer doesn't cause me any pressure problems.
I like soft primer, I use Federal Match primers.
i think i have some of everything but tula and sellior and bellot.
win,rem,fed,wolf,magtech,cci.
seems like i grab what i can get then find a load it does well with and use them till their gone.
and either replace them or move on.
I use Remington 7 1/2 br. But I only load .204 Ruger.
CCI man myself but have used others. May have to use others here shortly as my stash is starting to get rundown pretty bad with all the hoarding going on.

I used to use CCI exclusively. I loved their Benchrest primers...OH THE GOOD OL' DAYS...:roll:
Bought whatever was available until Wolf and Tula was the only thing I could find, so I bought a LOT of Wolf and Tula primers.
I really can't complain, I was glad to have primers. I thought for a while there I was going to have to crush up some match heads and make my own...
The Wolf 223 Small Rifle aren't as accurate as the CCI Benchrest, but still Minute-of-Deer. I haven't tried shooting any precision matches since the troubles began.
Tried the match head thing. Haven't been able to make it work.:rolleyes:
Lately I have been favoring the Federal Match primers. I started with the 215M in the big guns and have been using the 210M in others. Sure wish I could find some small rifle match ones lol Mark
Gotta mix those with the right kind of grass clippings, Kirby.Quote:

Always used Winchester until the big shortage of 08. Then I picked up some Remington Match for Small Rifle and some CCI small Pistol.
I use Winchesters for pistol & rifle, CCIs for auto-loaders, and Federal 215s for the Magnums.
I use Fed Match in LP and LR because I found them where an employee put them on the shelf at cost. I inquired and they were happy to find out so I got mine and they re-priced I think.
Anyway Rem 7 1/2 BR 'cause they were available less than Win and CCI for small pistol. Believe it or not the CCI's were on sale I think $25.99. I could NOT pass that one up. They only let me buy one though. <sadness>
