I'm finally getting into reloading (mostly RCBS equipment) and would like suggestions on primers for the following rounds I will be reloading:
.22-250, 6mm Remington, .270 Winchester, and 7mm Remington magnum. Thanks.
I have had my best accuracy results over the years using Federal 210 LR primers. Many others have had equally satisfactory results with Rem 9-1/2's, CCI's, and even Winchester primers. For the cartridges you listed, I would NOT use Magnum primers, not even for the 7mm Rem Mag., unless you were using a very slow ball powder in it, like H870 or AA8700.....

and small rifle for the 22-250."
Every .22/250 case I've ever seen uses a Large Rifle size (.210") primer, not a Small Rifle primer........

"Small Rifle, Large Rifle, Magnum? Which one will best suit the calibers listed above."
ALL the cartridges you listed use size .210" (LR diametrer) primers. I don't even use magnums in the 7mm REM., unless for slow ball powders. I use the Federal 215 Magnum primer in the .416 Rigby....
sorry eld, your right. I have never loaded for a 22-250 so I shouldn't have opened my mouth. I use 205 feds for my 204ruger, and assumed. I guess I am guilty of giving advise of soemthing I knew nothing about.
but the rest I stand by.
