'Tis common knowledge amoungst those who think highly of keeping their digits intact......

Am surprised none so far emulated the concept, and instead chose to google burn rates in some lame attempt to find a cross reference.....

I'm not a big fan of shitt blowin' up in my face via any method, and thus air on the side of practicality...with zero compromises on Safety.

Flatter yourself to be the judge of me.........on any level.

I'm sure tho', you'll view that from high atop your horse, as an attack on you......

I use CCI, Winchester and Remington primers in magnum and standard. Some are a bit hotter then others and I use them to fine tune a round when it's just about there. CCI being the coolest and Winchester being the hottest in both magnum and standard. It may not work for others, but it does work for me. Especially with handgun loadings.

And Yes. I do ride a tall horse. But I leave the judging to those who are most qualified to judge themselves. Welcome back...

Like I said before, I've burned up many pounds of WW760 powder using CCI 200 primers in my 30-06 for many years. Some of the loads have more than 60gr of powder pushing a 150 gr bullet and I never have had a problem, even in the dead of winter.

Expecting me go somewhere?

Am thinkin' probably..........

Have here, had the best "luck" with Federal primers both large and small regular, and magnum, for consistancy, and have easily scored what I needed via the 'net or a local store.

I use CCI's in my large pistols simply because I got a good deal on a few thousand of them a while back...they always go bang so I've no issues with them in 4" and 6" .44's or .45's.

Primers are simple..................
