22 Creedmoor LG or SM primer pockets?

[Phil]

What seems to be working best for 22 creedmoor shooters the large or small primers????

Primarily for a coyote / rock chuck rifle.

70-80gr. boolitz.

450's

It won't matter.

I would stick with large rifle primers in the 22 Creed
Been using small rifle and been having some ftf and some delayed firings like a hang fire almost but more like a muzzleloader

I had the same issue but solved it with an internal primer hole chamfer tool that opened the flash hole to .080” instead of .060ish. Hang fires disappeared after that operation on the brass and no problems since. Given the choice I’d likely use LRP, but the SRP brass treated as such works just fine. If your rifle has a firing pin diameter over .075” I’d definitely go with the LRP or bush the bolt face with SRP use.

I use LRPs for hunting and SRP for target shooting.

Large on a hunting rifle. Especially if you’re hunting in freezing or subzero weather.

Large rifle primers if you have them. They are real hard to find! Use what you have or can get.

I use Peterson and Alpha brass and CCI 450s without a problem
