SRP vs LRP with the Creedmoor's

[PhilC]

Went with Peterson small primer brass for my 22CM, right and tight up to 3500fps.

Go with srp for sure. Better primer pocket durability, better pressure resistance and cheaper/easier to find primers.
If you are going to hunt with it in cold(below freezing) weather, have some large primer brass just for that.

Leaning to the LRP's...

Most People Don't Have an Accurate enough, ( Bench Rest ) Rifle to Tell, the difference between, the Primer sizes !
And for Slow Burning, ( Coated ) Powders or, Ball Powders, the Large rifle Primer, IS,.. the way to, Go !
My 6 XC w/ 107 gr SMK's "Bug Holes" and the 6.5 Creed w/ 130 to 143 gr Bullets,.. LOVE, StaBall 65 !
My .22-250's Both have, LRP Brass and Shoot,.. very "Well" !
I use Peterson, Lapua and Norma Brass,.. w/ NO detectable,.. Accuracy,.. issues !
CCI 200's and F 210-M primers, Flat out,. "Work" for Me.

Peterson is what I'm going to use. Thats the speed I'm looking for as well!

Then you better be more concerned with barrels than primers lol

Already has short life. The gun won't been shot all that much (200rds yearly) I'm thinking, but this is going to be a huge learning curve for me too!

I get hang fires with wolf small rifle primers, but went away with cci41’s. N555 powder in 6.5cm

Yeah that’s the point. Any brass will outlast that barrel so don’t stress the decision too much.

SRP for sure. No issues here running Slow powders in minus conditions

Have you ever ran IMR 4451 powder with the small primers?

Thanks, I just have a stash of it that have been using in the 6.5 Creed with large primers and was curious about the SRP.
