I like the the small rifle primer because you should get less lose pockets, and personally I think Lapua and Peterson brass are the better options.
Keep in mind your intended use. If you lose 25 percent of your brass at a match then brass life isn't where you're saving costs.

I was having loose primer pockets with Hornady brass in my 6cm- and when I switched to Starline it fixed it. I was using the large primers on starline, but one day I was buying some more brass and not really paying attention and ended up with the small primer brass. I had to adjust the load just a bit but I didn't notice any difference in primer pockets loosening up- but I only made it to 9 reloads on them (and then my barrel was done) so don't know how long they would have lasted.
About how many firings were you getting with the Hornady?
And how many did you have on the large primer starline?
On the SRP, is CCI's 450 what most are using, or does Rem.7 1/2, Fed. 205M or even CCI's # 41 figure in ??
