TONY R Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Not used them in the small rifle size the LRs are very consistant, In the hornet the Best were Rem 7.5s and the fed 205s. Bit of light reading for you on primewrs,. There was a a Big thread on VHA or PM forums, was some great info in it on the .17 hornet, Cant find it though, ill have another look later im going out in a min or two. > Have a look on VHA forum and PM forums. http://www.jamescalhoon.com/primers_and_pressure.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Use a primer with a thicker cup. Rem 7 1/2's CCI BR4s, 450s, fed 205s. I'm using 450s. Cheap. Regular supply. Edited August 31, 2016 by mick miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 If your interested in really fine tuning for accuracy after all other avenues, then you could try different primers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
