CCI / Winchester Primers.

I've use and like both brands. Something I've found over the years reloading 5.56 & 7.62 NATO (with sagged primer pockets) is the CCI will not seat as easely and would sometimes crush the primer and also shave off a little brass from the around the primer pocket. This is why I think it's a dia. cause than a lenght cause. Using Winchester primers I've not encounted this problem.

Also if I use commerial or National Match (7.62 NATO) brass I don't run into this problem.

I just mic'd two Lg. Pistol of each. The CCI's dia. is a little under a .001 larger than the Winchester. This could account the seating problems.

Is the Win. under or is the CCI over size? My best bet would be both are within the Min/Max. industry standards.

Both are good and when I buy my next lot of 5,000 I'll go with the best price.
