Federal ar match grade primers

[williepete]

I usually use cci #41 primers but they are not available at this time, so I picked up a box of federal match ar primers
any thoughts on these primers?

They will definitely work.

Anyone know the difference between the AR match and the 205M primer

The 205mar has a harder primer cup.

I'd trade you 2 for 1 my #41 primers for the AR Match if you were near me. The work good in .223, and really good in small primer 6.5 CM.

i did not like them for accuracy in an ar . 205m was better

Work well in my 20p AR, even with lighter trigger springs. Don't see any difference on paper at hunting distances. Same powder charge/bullet as R7.5, 450's.

How would they work for 300 bo sun loads?

I also use the CCI 41 but since they are hard to find I bought Winchester 41. They claim to be military grade and are available. I'm hoping for the best but I have not loaded any yet. Has anyone tried WW41?

205 MAR shoots the same for my AR match loads as 450’s, R 7 1/2 and the good old Wolf 223 magnums. No complaints.

Edit to add - I have witnessed several slam fires in an AR with the regular 205M primers

If I run out of small pistol primers I am going to use the AR Match primers I have left. They were excellent in 2 rifles and should run fine in a 1911.

I doubt it. The primer cup will be way too hard. I also though small rifle primers were taller, no?

 

[Eric Leonard]

Small rifle and pistol are the same size. Large rifle are taller than large pistol though.

 

[fkimble@charter.net]

Yea, if I ran out of SP primer I would go to regular and not mag or AR primers.

Haven't seen the Win version. CCIs were in Sportsmans Warehouse here in AZ for a while a few months back. I have thousands of them, but don't have a load that works yet.

I have used CCI #41 and Fed AR Match Primers extensively. The CCI #41's are way hotter.

They all have their place. For max velocity with certain powders like H4895, CCI #41's are the ticket.

For the lowest extreme spreads possible, Fed AR Match primers and powders like RL15 and AR-Comp will work awesome.

I use the 41's and H4895 with 55 grain Coyote bullets at 3000 fps out of a 16 inch carbine.
I use the Fed AR's and H4895 with 75 grain Hornady Match bullets at 2675 out of a 20 inch rifle.

Love them both.

I think Natchez has #41 primers
