6.5 PRC primer preference.

[Macca]

I’ve not seen a lot of data regarding primer selection for the 6.5 PRC other than Hornady listing the Federal 210.
Is there a default preference & or primers to avoid?

All I've used is the 210s. I got lucky and less than 60 rounds fired to find my pet load (running a full 10% spectrum = 25 wasted rounds). I've seen no need to try a different primer, but that may change if I have to source a new powder since RL26 seems to be the unicorn now.

Thanks,I haven’t started loading for it yet.
I’ve got a couple of thousand Fiochi LR I was considering.

I use CCI 200 w RL-26 single digit ES SD

I've tried CCI BR2s and 250s (mostly with H1000 in moderate temps). The 250s averaged 5-10fps more speed, but SDs were too high. CCI BR2s were a little slower, but SDs were much better.
