As I've mentioned numerous times I'm not new to reloading just new to reloading for 308 semi-auto. Over the years the only primers I've used for 308 bolt gun, 6.5 swede, 45-70, 30-06 bolt gun, 30-30,and 7mm-08 are either CCI-200, CCI-250 or WLR. Ive been using them so far in my brief career in loading for an AR-10. My question is: are these primers OK or should I be trying to get some of the CCI-34 mil-spec primers for 308 auto. I ask this mostly from the point of view of safety from slam fires that I've read about.
I've noticed as I used the last of my supply of the silver colored WLR primers and started in to the new gold colored WLR primers that the gold ones seem a lot softer. For the same loads with the two different WLR primers the gold ones are way more flattened than the silver ones ( or the CCIs for that matter).
So what are you 308 semi-auto reloaders using?
