Remington 7 1/2 primers question?

[Naildriver_2007]

I can buy some Remington br 7 1/2’s, I have never used these primers.
Let me know if you have experience with them.

Thanks,
Mitch

I do. They load about the same as CCI 450's for me. Only negative is they sort into more piles than 450's (at least that is the case for my lots). I'd surely buy more if I could find them for anything close to a decent price.

Intended use and caliber makes the difference in my experience.
7.5 have always worked better in my 17, smaller 20 and 22 cal cases but 450's in 6br case.

Great primers, buy them if you have the chance.

 

[SKWERLZ]

No complaints with 7 1/2’s
A good #450 alternative

REM 7.5 better the CCI 400. BUY

 

[Pawnee Bill]

I don't use Remington primers.

They have performed equal to CCI 450's and BR-4's in my 6.5x47 Lapua with Reloader 15 and 123Gr. Scenars. They also worked well in my service rifle loads in the .223 with 77 grain Sierras and 24.5 gr, of Realoader 15

Rem 7 1/2 is a very popular Pet Load component for XTC Service Rifle competition and in any competition circles for the AR platform. If you don't like them, I am sure you would be able to trade or sell them off to a nearby Service Rifle shooter.

I use mostly CCI or Federal primers only because it has a slightly large diameter than the Rem's. Even though some of the brass I used in the past was new, the Rem primers would not stay seated. No issue with CCI or Federal's.

I use them in the 223 for XTC service rifle and match rifle. I do not test primers except if they go bang and all that I have tested went bang.

 

[Bill K]

If you can buy them reasonably, get them. They work with a lot of our cartridges, just fine.

@SPJ I'm just curious since you have 6 1/2 mixed in there with the others, what were you shooting that day?

 

[243Lapua]

There good in my 6.5x47.

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

My favorite small rifle primer.

I switched to the Rem 7 1/2 primer when Winchester switched plating on their SR primers and I got several slam fires with my AR-15 Service Rifle. I have purchased literally 12,000+ over the years and fired them in 3 different AR's in 223, 6.5 Creedmoor Lapua SRP, 6BR-Norma, and soon 6 Dasher. I have never had a pierced primer or failure to fire. I can't say the same with Federal SRP Match or CCI 400's. Since I do not weigh primers I can't speak to weight uniformity but they are not holding back my scores in F-Class or BR. I would recomend them and wish I had more.

I use only Rem 7 1/2's for F-class .308 Not a single failure , mis-fire or perforated primer in over Three years , since being forced to switch from S&B SRP's . Got my first 200 -20X with them at 600 , and they are a consistent primer for me . I tried every primer I could get my hands on for five years , and went with the Rems....Anybody out there wants to get rid of their old "junk" Rem 7 1/2BR's , just send them . I'll dispose of them in a safe manner . In the TEN RING .

I've run many thousands of rem 7.5 in my 223s, never a fault, get em if you can.

 

[JB10]

Please get them and ill buy them off of you.

I ran nothing but 71/2’s for years and years. Mine only made one pile, empty/fired. I just opened a “brick” yesterday it was dated 02-03, $43. They were scarce and hard to come by even before today.
I have since used 450’s off and on. Just yesterday I ordered 5K of 450’s shipped and tax came to $111.60 per 1k, yeah it hurt but that is split three ways with buddies.
I never weighed any primers, when I do start weighing primers I will personally sign a post card and send to every member here from what ever country I am in where I won a championship…….
