Remington 7 1/2 bench rest primers?

[JFrank]

At short range a guy may not see much difference, at mid to long range the receiver will probably show a preference.

You guys need to stop Hyping the 7 1/2's , and go back to all those Fed & CCI primers . Leave my primers alone . For several; years , all I heard was they were no good , and when we hit that primer shortage under King Barrack , Lester Bruno suggested I try them . Been shooting them since . Won't use anything else , and have Ten thousand on the shelf .
LEAVE MY PRIMERS ALONE !.....

Many moons ago in silhouette matches I used the 7 1/2s in my 7TCU (my first wildcat experience). I was having a few ftf’s out of every 100 rounds. A gunsmith friend of mine said it was due to them being a hard primer and the hammer strike force of my T/C Contender wouldn’t ignite them reliably. Following his advice to switch to Federal 205s, a softer primer, the problem went away. Since then I’d used Federal primers exclusively. Last year Bruno’s had a no hazmat/free shipping deal going. Around $325/5000 case of 7 1/2s. I grabbed a case and glad I did. Where the Federals would start showing early pressure signs of light cratering, the 7 1/2s show no signs with the identical load. Accuracy is excellent and according to my Garmin the SD is consistently lower (slightly). I’m using them in our 204 Rugers, my 6BR and my 7BR.

Yup as above they are trash, nothing to see here move along.
They are my secret sauce down here, I have BR4's not touched and 450's not touched. And 7 1/2s still keep popping up on the shelves but they are about NZ$230 a brick. Along with everything else its got expensive to shoot.
I could trade you guys some eggs? but tarrifs might be high?
