Thank you SVO. I have been doing some research and it seems to be mixed reviews all over the place. I guess it's whatever works. I am very new to reloading, just decapped and cleaned my first batch last night. So I am as green as it gets.

I appreciate everyone's input. My decision is

Buy CCI - 500 for the 9mm. Saved the 550's for future reloads.
Buy CCI - 300 for 45

Use the Winchester LP magnum for the 44 Magnum
Use CCI - 450 for 223. Just going to reduce 10% and then scale up.

CCI #41 is a magnum primer and the only difference between CCI #41 and CCI 450 is crimping method. Not sure what that means, but it does not effect the reloading process. There are those that do not recommend standard rifle primers for 223 at all?
