winchester large rifle magnum primers

[swampratt]

Anyone use those primers?
I would bet when primers come back around they will all be nearly $40 a 1000.

I have some loads where primers make a difference in accuracy.
I have Federal 210m and cci 200 in large rifle and have not tried any winchester primers.
But Gene sears has a lot of them in stock The Large rifle magnum anyway.
Probably could not hurt to get some while they are still cheap enough.

I was using fed 210M to load for my308. Few years back I had to change to WLR because I could not find 210M. I did not notice any difference same accuracy almost identical velocity and extreme spread. I guess the only way that you are going to find out is to try every gun/cartridge is different. Remember the 308 is a real forgiven cartridge.

I use the WLRM primers for high pressure Ultra Mag size cartridges and larger. Testing has shown these primers to have the thickest primer cup of all the large rifle primers.

A lot of times when a firing pin hole is large enough to crater primer with standard loads, WLR and WLRM will not crater as badly, and sometimes not at all.

I got a brick of them.
Cheap enough right now.
I should have got a couple more.
