I have used almost all the small rifle primers, CCI-400, 450, BR-4, Win SR, Remington 7 1/2, Federal 205, Wolf 223 and Sellier & Bellot SR and really haven't found that much difference, at least in my rifles. I like to have an assortment on hand, and if I hadn't recently purchased 5000 of the S &B small rifle primers, I would have done so this time at Cabela's. They work fine. I note that the Wolf and S&B are a little larger in size and don't seat as easily as Winchester or Remington, but that is the main difference I note with the European primers. I haven't really done a thorough test with the chronograph, but maybe now that I am retired, I might take a shot at it.
