Russian Primer .223 Test

[DBR]

You should read the second link first. It has a wealth of historical data re primer development. I guess I flipped the links when I copied them.

I'll do that. Thanks.

(edit: I had indeed read this before. It has been a while)

I most recently was googlizing .308 Palma to see if we could rob the Russian Primer train twice by using these for our .308s. I'd come across Salazar's comments on the 7-1/2 Rem primers defeating the purpose of the Palma small rifle primer ignition.

For what it's worth....

Although we've fired 10s of thousands of these WOLF primers without a problem (other than H335 loads), I still jump back to a CCI primer for my Defense handloads in that an aggressive primer is an added level of reliability worth giving up Accuracy and small S.D.s for defensive combat purposes.

I wouldn't use the #41 if your defensive load utilizes H322.

I wouldn't use those #41s for any load.

Now you tell me.

I'd sideline those for Blaster ammo with ball powder. Having different components is always a good thing. As much as I like the Russian primers, I still like having some regular primers around too.

Yep, I agree & it's already done. I pulled them out of my main primer can, replaced them with the Russians & they've been mothballed. I have so many other primers that they're a good candidate to purge during the next panic.

There's guys that believe that you HAVE to use #41s to safely load for ARs.

What do you guys not like about the #41s? Why should you not use them with H322?
