    Large Rifle Primers

    So while my new parts are coming in to rebuild my upper I am going to start loading up some brass for my next time out at the range. I have about 100 once fired PPU cases now that I have been firing the 120 grain ammo. Since the are large rifle primers I was wondering what the go to large rifle primer is for the 6.5 Grendel. Basically what is the equivalent of the CCI 450. I have standard Winchester large rifle primers that I use for reloading my .308 and 7.62x54 brass. My guess is these are not the go to primers for a semi auto. I also have some CCI large rifle magnum primers. What do you guys who load this brass and fire formed brass use?

      Hi 1911,

      I believe that all commercial large rifle primers are .027" thick, which is .002' thicker than cci450's. I've used cci 200's without problem in a M1 Garand as well as the PRVI grendel cases. I've never seen cci 34's on the shelves here at the end of the road.

        I use CCI large rifle primers. Never had any issue.

          I have used what ever large rifle primers I have handy. However, I never load PPU brass to anything near a max load and would recommend keeping all you loads in PPU brass on the light side, it just is not that great a brass.

            I use the tula LRP's in my loads and seal them with nail polish that I swiped from my daughter. The Tula and Wolf primers fit tighter than Winchester. I hand prime everything. If it feels loose, I use red, if not, I use green. Easier to keep track of good/bad brass.
