What primer with Lapua palma brass

[ballison]

Making the switch to Lapua palma brass with small primer, and was wondering what primer most use? I am access to a bunch of 205M, BR4, and CCI 450. Thanks.

I have been able to use Fed. 205Ms, CCI BR4s, and Wolf/Tulas interchangeably with no change in effective velocity, ES/SD (which was the original intent for this brass) or accuracy. Have not tried Win.s or Rem.s which seem hotter nor the CCI 450s that everyone else seems to love. When comparing the SR to LR Lapua brass I found that when using Tula LR primers I had to drop my load .3 grains to maintain the same velocity as the SR loads.

CCI 450 or Wolf/Tula are interchangeable in my rifle. Both are consistent for me.
I hope this helps,

The CCI BRs did ok for me but the CCI mag primers really brought the groups together, that was with a 155 Berger and Varget if it makes any difference to you.

Remington 7 1/2 Benchrest small rifle primers are my go to primer for high pressure loads.

I use the CCI450 and they work great for me

Thanks for all the replys! Really helps.

If it makes a difference, I'm using Varget and 185's.
