Small Rifle primer question

[CEDaytonaRydr]

I like to use CCI #41, it costs a little more but the peace of mind is worth it for me.

Never had problems with Winchester primers in my AR or my garand

I've never had problems with Winchester LR in the Garand, either. Matter of fact, that's what I use for the M1.

There's just something wrong with Winchester SR with 5.56 pressure loads in the AR. Maybe I got a bad batch, but a couple of fellow Service Rifle competitors had the same issues with the primers and anvils popping. Everyone I know uses a magnum or benchrest SR variant for AR Service Rifle.

Although, I tried CCI Small Rifle 400 (non-magnum) and they seemed fine.

Ive had slam fires with winchester factory ammo in my DPMS 308 but none witj cci 250's. Many witnesses on this outing. On a freshly cleaned rifle

I've been using Winchester SR primers in both my Spacegun and Service riffle AR for about 6 months now and have used about 2K of them without a single hiccup

Wolf SRM are 'copper' in color. I still have a lot of them. No issues with them with my standard 77gr + 24.0gr RL15 load.

Besides CCI #41, Wolf SRM's are what I use. No issues after more than 6k rounds.

Been using WSR primers for 25+ years of reloading for my three ARs and my sons without problems. I do like the availability and price of the Tula primers and have switched to Tula SRM and 556 primers lately.

What causes the firing, the bolt hitting or the firing pin sliding? Seems the bolt face will not touch the primer, but the firing pin can move around. Maybe a lighter firing pin like titanium?

So far no problems with Winchester small rifle primers, all have shot ok. I did have a couple of duds with Tulas.

I have used CCI #41, CCI #400, Winchester SRP, and Remington SRPs all without slamfires.

I prefer the #41's(, but have used SPP's in a drought, for testing to see if they would work, as I had nothing else, and the shelves were dry).

I got slams with CCI SRP's . if you ask CCI they say to use CCI #41 in an ar15. Harder cup and desensitized anvil angle. CCI mag primers use the same cup. I use both.

My slams were with one particular batch of CCI standard primers, so 2 of 2000 slammed. Just a double tap. An ar15 can't slam firr out of battery (inertial pin slam fire anyhow).
