Bill, I use Federal 205s up to 80 or 90 grains and 450s after that. That was the trend many years ago and I just never got away from it . Right or wrong, I do not know.Question: I have only used CCI450 primers for the 6BR in a Lapua case. However, I see that most of you have posted loads using a CCI BR4 primer. Is there a distinct benefit to using the less powerful primer?
Really depends on your rifle. You could test the BR-4s with your load but you may not see any improvement in your groups. Sounds like it is doing well as is.
I used 450s in my first BRA and 205M in my new one with the same bullet and landed on the same charge. Go figure.
