Just getting into reloading, would you mind giving some feedback on Winchester LRPs? My father in law just hooked me up with some and am just wondering what the reputation is.

thanks
 
They will do just fine in that application, as allways work up your load watching for pressure signs and let the rifle tell you what it likes.
At this point I know beggars cant be choosers, a few weeks ago I got lucky and found some FGMM LRPs at sportsmans which is probably what I will start with but sm happy that I got the Winchester to test other loads as well.

The 210M is a good primer or BR2 or Win LRP, any of those will serve you well in the 6.5CM

Use what you have or buy a flintlock.
Never had a Winchester primer not go bang.

Will the real mag primer please stand up.

Do not use them in Federal brass unless you want pock marks in your bolt face.

WLR primers have the smallest diameter of them all and Federal primer pockets are generous and soft. Use WLR primers in Winchester brass or swaged military brass that has had the primer crimp removed.
