7-6.5PRCW Primer Choice??

[Dave M.]

What primers are proving to be the best fit with this cartridge? My plan is to use the standard CCI 200 LRP.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave, It’s not that big of a case that magnum primers would be needed. BR2 or 200 should be plenty for the powder capacity and burn rate of the preferred powder. Hopefully see you again in Lodi.

BR2's and GM210M's both shoot very well for me.

I'm using br2's. Haven't tried anything else though.

I use BR-2s and Ginex large rifle primers in my 7-6.5 PRCW F-Open gun. Both work very well. I bought the Ginex when other primers were unavailable. They work every bit as good as the more expensive BR2s. For competition I sort my primers by weight to help reduce flyers.
CCI 200 should work just fine.

We are all signed up Keith and looking forward to only making the drive once each way this August. Marisa will be shooting the 7-6.5PRCW with Berger 180 hybrids and N555.

Ive been using GM210 & White River's. Both been excellent.

White River primers have been a pleasant surprise. Velocity has been very consistent, more so than the other primers I've tried. You need to have your Wheaties when seating them, though. Seating them in new Peterson brass will test what you're made of. They may be a bit larger than the average LRP.

I agree. My velocity spreads with them have been very very good!
Very true. They are a bit fatter and taller then most primers ... I uniform all pockets to help get them deep enough.

May I suggest testing primers to determine which primer the rifle prefers.

Thanks, I NEVER thought of that at all…….i hope my sarcasm made it through to you, but I typed this just in case it didn’t.

The OP’s question is Really a loaded question but Jim’s statement is legitimate… all platforms are not created equal so to actually know requires a bit of work up front if you don’t have any working data out of this platform or just tune it up with the primers you have as likely you’ll survive.. regardless of what other guys are using.. good luck and shoot small
