I know that softer primers in AR platforms "should" be harder to lessen the slam fires. My question is for a bolt gun I have three brands of primers. The only reason is during the shortage I bought what I could. With that I have remington 9 1/2, Winchester large rifle and my go to CCI. I know they will potentially change the dynamics of my load but my question is are the 9 1/2 and Winchester ok to use in a bolt gun. Any pros or cons. Dumb question to most but inquiring minds want to know.
 
HT,

Other than my stash of plated Win. primers, I gravitate towards the mil spec CCI primers for autoloaders.
