Can you really tell a difference in pistol primers?
Winchester makes good primers either way

I still have a bad taste from my experience with Winchester primers a number of years ago. I won't buy Winchester anything.
Splitting in the corners?
Primers were loose and falling out. They said send them some. They said it must be the brass. Sent them some of their brass. They said it must be me. I told them they could take their stuff and ---------------. When they sent the sleeve of primers back they did not tape it shut. The UPS driver asked what was rattling in the box. Opened it and 1000 primers were all loose.

I have and still use Winchester primers. I have 10,000 Federal primers as a backup.
Winchester primers are great.

I had a LR Win primer do that. But I will add that Winchester treated me fairly, but I switched to CCI.

Yup, they were purchased when the 205M cost me $100 per case of 5,000. A long time ago, I guess I'm a hoarder!
Funny. Most of the guy's that I shoot against in this state use Winchester SR primers in their short range score rifles for whatever reason. One of them has shot 4 250-25X's and he holds the IBS wipe-out record of 22x's with those just horrible Winchester primers.
You and me both Butch.
I think you might have missed where I say I really like them
Never had a problem with Winchester primers but have not tried their new match primers. I mostly use 205m and BR4 primers but I use what the gun and load tell me it likes. I have two barrels right now that just plain prefer Remington 7-1/2 primers and I've been all over the load map trying to make them shoot 205 or br4's...just won't shoot them quite as well for whatever reason.
well unless I can't read,
You said no they are horrible, don't buy Winchester primers, Federal match are way better. Then you said I really like Winchester primers also. Your confusing the Hell out of me. I find that I have to match the primers with the powder and barrel that I am using. Example: 205's wouldn't work worth a shit in my 30x47 with a Hart bbl with a stiff load of N133, but BR4's shot lights out. I experiment with different primers when I load multiple rounds for say 10 different rifles in 30BR with usually either H4198 or N130. Ninety nine percent of the time 205's gave me better results in MY 30BR's than either WSR, Rem 7&1/2's, or BR4's.

It’s a joke I guess you don’t understand jokes. Oh well I’m not here to argue with people.
