Russian Primer .223 Test

[jstone]

If Wolf "223" primers and SRM primers are "magnum" primers, then shouldn't they be putting out MORE flash than CCI #41s?

41's are magnum primers as well. They have some other slight differences from the cci 450. They are designed for firearms with free floating firing pins.

6mmbr has an article that shows the difference in flash of several srp and lrp. Im blanking on there new name, but if you go there and search primers you should be able to find it.

The difference from primer to primer can be quite a lot. IIRC the rem 7.5's look to be hotter than most lrp. If you have time you should check it out. I will try to find it again and post a link.

Wow, compared to the fireballs coming from the Remington primers, it's no wonder that the Russian primers result in hangfires with some powders...

So a little off topic but what primers work with H335?

I don't have any yet but I'm looking to load bulk 55 grain for training and classes.

I'm also not stuck on getting H335. I'll get anything that's good and I can find.

That is pretty interesting.

I'm still baffled at the amount of impact the primers had on the cycling issues I was experiencing. I'm hoping to learn more about that.

Thats it. I posted a link before I saw you did. Those rem 7.5s are pretty hot.

I've used CCI 41s with no issue. I got the CCIs because of the issues with Tulas and H335 (Tulas were the only small rifle primer I had when I came into some H335 during the powder drought of 2013).

After I finish off the H335 and the CCI 41s I doubt I'll buy either again unless I run into another situation where those are the only things I can find. Take that for what it's worth. The only thing I really like about H335 is that it meters extremely well. Not playing well with the Tula primers though (which are a lot cheaper than the CCI 41s by the way) is a deal breaker for me now that I have other powders to play with.

I've had good accuracy from Benchmark and Tula small rifle primers and 55 grain FMJs. No ignition problems either. Benchmark seems to flow pretty well through my dillon. If you're just loading up blasting ammo in bulk I can see the appeal of H335 metering, but it's not worth it to me to stock another type of primer.

Thanks for posting this. The first article is another bit of info I looked for but I could not find it. I have not had a chance to read the article on the large rifle primers.

Any primer BUT Wolf has worked for me with H335. The thing is, H335 brings nothing exciting to the table accuracy wise. The Russian primers do. So I pick the primers over the ability to use H335.
