Primers - which ones?
 

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 usually stick with cci on all my loading , that includes rifle and pistol!

RE: Primers - which ones?
 

Small Rifle, Large Rifle, Magnum? Which one will best suit the calibers listed above.

Thanks.

I stick with federals. Why, just what was available when I started. For the 270 and 260, I would use 210's, and for 7mmremmag, 215M, and small rifle for the 22-250. I use some CCI's for pistols. And sometimes experiement with rems cause they are usually less explosive.

I use Federal Gold Match Primers. Good luck.

I've always used CCI for everything, but that's only b/c it's what my dad always used. He's been into reloading 20+ years. Only magnum primers we use are pistol .44 mag & hot 357s, but I'm not even sure how useful they are. I've beentrying to get a chrono so I'll be able to measure differences --

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.....

bigcountry "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........

quote: ORIGINAL: FastShootingCarts "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....
