    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.

    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...

    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.

    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
