I have a different use rating.

1. Federal - I start building loads with Federal primers because I have found they are made with a softer material which allows for easier pressure indications.

2. Winchester - if the Federals show pressure signs before I reach my goals AND the brass does not show pressure signs.

3. Remington - similar to #2 - used Remington a lot in past - cost and availability has stopped me.

4. CCI - made with hardest cup material in my testing - I use these for maximum loadings where brass may be damaged also because of intense loading. CCI's will hold the pressure better, but may require a heavier firing pin spring to achieve consistent burn.

5. Tula or Wolf - have not used due to having 30,000 Federal primers in stock.

Your results or methods may vary.
