Remington 7 1/2 small bench rest primers,... ok?

View attachment 1107131 The only primer I would avoid is the Rem 6 1/2
I believe you could built a load around most any primer

What cartridge were you shooting for this test? My impression was that the Rem. 6 1/2s were for cartridges under 38,000cup? Hornet and the like. How did they hold up in your test?

That is a really interesting test, are those Federal primers the "match" version 205M??

I was having the same problem with my 6br built on a Savage model 12 action (not a target action) and CCI 450 misfires. So I took the firing pin assembly out and gave the rear nut another 1/2 turn to increase spring tension and increased firing pin protrusion slightly, while checking that the cocking pin still clears the bottom of the cocking ramp notch. Problem solved, no more FTF issues.
