i just reread my comments above and after doing a lot more shooting and finding some great loads - well i have to say i use whatever primer the gun/load shoots the best but out of the loads that are keepers so far all of them are using the federal match primers 205 and 210 but the 223 is going to keep the cci br primers - i say all this now with a couple thousand of the winchester small and large in my drawer lol

At this time I use whatever the stores have in stock. I normally us CCI if they have them. For my purposes I find very little difference in any brand.

Im with Catfish on this one. I have had accuracy change drastically more than once by changing primers. Good example a few weeks back: 35 Remington, 180 Gr. Speer Flat Point, 43 Gr. of RL-12. 2 to 2.5 inches was the best she would do. I loaded CCI 200's, Rem 9 1/2's, WLR's all with about the same result. Loaded 5 more with Fed 210's and shrunk it down to just over an inch. Loaded 20 more with 210's and all shot great.Got me a new Deer load
