pretty evenly divided between Federal and Remington. However I picked up some RWS primers a while back and use them in a couple of calibers with excellent results.

I've had my best results in velocity uniformity from shot to shot using Federal 210 primers, and, with some magnum LR primers once sold by the now-defunct Sullivan Arms Company that sold mainly shotgun reloading stuff.
The other day at the range I ran into a 1000-yard benchrest rifle competitor who was testing ammo for velocity and pressure performance, and he was using RWS primers. He said he got the lowest variation with them.
