Thread: Small Rifle primers

I've tested & been through a lot of Small primers with the 6Br & Small pocket 308 palma brass. The Russian "Murom" primers are about as good as it gets & even better as cheap as it gets. My primer of choice for along time was the CCI BR4's, the Murom trump these & pretty much in any cartridge I shoot.

He tests a number of SR primers in 308 Palma brass, including several mentioned here: CCI 450, Federal 205 & match, Murom and BR4. His main outcome statistic was consistent muzzle velocity and he tests a couple of big loads looking for cratering and hard to ignite powder (CFE223). A fairly thorough testfire really, with some unexpected results.
