6.5 LAPUA CReedmoor Brass Primer?

[ArmyJerry]

what primer have you all settled on with the lapua 6.5 ceedmoor?

Also interested to know, I am having issues with mine and I think powder is building up in the throat causing eventual struggle with chambering a round. The bullet has scrapes on it by the neck, presumably from being pushed into the top of the throat wall from the powder. Currently trying to get the issue to happen with factory rounds, from there I'll be trying different powders and primers (assuming I can't reproduce the issue with factory ammo)

At least in 2015, the top choice amongst the PRS crowd seemed to be the CCI #450 Small Rifle Magnum primer... http://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/12/27/best-bullets-brass-primers-powder/ - with a smattering of other options. I haven't settled on a primer, yet - I have #450s, #400s, and Federal Small Rifle primers onhand. Going to start with the 450s, though...

_Raining - are you sure you're not seating into the lands?

I've been using CCI Benchrest and have been meaning to try my CCI #41's that I use in my grendel.

davere. The rounds that wouldn't chamber when the issue presents itself will chamber fine after a quick cleaning. The scraping when forced in is just past the neck to bullet transition. When the issue presents itself I can't chamber factory rounds either.

So, it's not an issue w/ the Lapua brass, then - just a general issue with your gun. Gotcha...

I use br-4's and 450's. The cci br primers (2's and 4's) have the thick magnum cups, so they stand up to high pressure fine.

I'm using CCI BR4s. I tried the 450s and couldn't get consistent results. Could be I have a bad batch of the 450s but everything cleared up when I started using the BR4s.
