.308 Palma brass for F-TR?

I was thinking about trying out some Lapua .308 Palma brass for my .308 WIN rifle. I am told this brass (which uses SR primers instead of LR) can reduce vertical dispersion, increase accuracy, and reduce initial pressure spikes. However, would a load with this brass be legal in most F-Class competitions in the F-TR division, where the caliber is supposed to be .308 WIN? I assume it would be since its really just a primer change, but I figured I should ask...

Also, any general advice/experiences from people using this brass? I'm told it has problems with ignition in cold weather, but I'm not sure how cold we are talking. I also heard that the SR primers are a little harder and can cause light primer strikes in some rifles. I'm using a factory Savage 10 FCP HS Precision in .308 WIN.
 
Brass is still 308 win, so it's legal.

No issues igniting primers, you'll be fine.

Brass life is enhanced over large primer brass.
