308 Lapua Palma brass questions

[kelbro]

What are most folks using for primers with the SRP 308 Palma brass?

Working up loads with both and comparing but hoping that standard GM205M will 'win' since I have a good stash of those.

I've got very good results with CCI 400's and Rem 7.5's as well with the AR-Comp powder I use most and even works well with IMR-4064 pushing 169 SMK's.

71/2, 450, BR4
I like them for the thicker cup, on full loads.
Have used Win but mostly in a lighter load, they still seemed fine.
The 71/2 gave good performance with 155.5 bullets in the 3050 fps loads. That was with 8208 powder.
450's with Varget on 208 grainers are giving low SDs but only going 2625 fps good groupings so figure to stay at that speed.
Same Varget load for 185's with 450's or BR4 is giving Same performance.
They would be My top 3 picks based on 5 or 6 yrs shooting palma brass.

The 205Ms will work just fine.

I used 450s & 7.5s for years in Lapua Palma brass. Now I'm running Alpha OCD SRP brass, with 205Ms. Lowest ES/SDs I've ever had. Some - maybe a lot - of that is probably changes in my loading methods over the years, but I'm pretty sure the 205Ms aren't hurting me any either.

205M, CCi450 and Remington 7.5. I also have a good quantity of RWS, from before IPhones...but still goes off OK.

Are the RWS the ones that were $4.50 per hundred… or less?

I'm currently having excellent results with RWS sr primers.
I've also had similar results with BR4 and Federal AR Gold Medal primers.

Thanks guys. Got a good deal on some of this brass and hoping it works as well as my LRP Lapua.
