Primers for 6.5x47L

[Jackcrow73]

What primer is everyone using for this cartridge? I just ordered a barrel in this chambering, I'm trying to get an idea what to look for as far as components.

CCI 450 with h4350

 

[Jackcrow73]

Are magnum primers the way to go? I have about 1000 CCI 400's and a few hundred BR4's.

 

[Trevor300wsm]

CCI 450's over Varget or H4350

 

[Garyc]

CCI450's or the BR4's both have thicker cups than normal so most guys prefer them. CCI400's have thinner cups.

 

[George63]

cci 400 are about the worst for this use, good primers but only for reasonable pressure loads

 

[wadebrown]

Wolf Small Rifle Magnum, these are called magnum but they have the same amount of compound as the regular primers but a thicker cup. The thicker cup is important for the 47 as it tends to be hard on primers, a lot of people need their pins bushed due to excessive primer flow.

CCI 450's or #41's

 

[milo 2.0]

I use 205 M's, and have for 4 years, some stout loads also. Primer may pooch up some, with this brass, your first pressure sign seems to be pierced primers.

 

[phreakmode]

Tula 556M have produced excellent consistency for my loads.

The cci 450's had better chronograph numbers but the br-4's reduced my groups by 30% so thats what Im using. Still have great velocity using 38.0 grs varget 20 inch barrel 2800 fps 130 bergers.
