Fiocchi Primers?

[KMW 1954]

Looking for feedback on Fiocchi SRP for use in a 223 bolt rifle. I have been using CCI 400 and 450 with the 400 showing a bit of cratering from the primer pin. I do not see signs with the 450 of the Remington 7 1/2 primers. So are the cups thinner/softer like the CCI 400?

I've been shooting their magnum small rifle primers. They are definitely thicker because my Remington will not ignite them but my AR does without a problem. I have no experience with their standard primers.

I've used them in my 6BR and .223 bolt guns. Always went bang. In the 6BR, my ES went up a bit, but accuracy was still there at 100 yards. In my .223, they performed like 205m primers (very close in velocity and ES). Never had an ignition issue. My testing was very limited. I tried them in known good loads for both rifles. Just 25 rounds each.

I run the Rem 7-1/2 in my TR rifle , and got some of the Fiocchi SRPs as a "just-in case" when they were recommended by Laurie some months back . I did a test run of fifty rounds with my normal load , and the only difference I noticed was velocity was down on average , about 20fps . No issues with cups or perforations in my Kelby Panda .

I just bought some in small pistol but have not loaded them yet
