Primers for 454 Casull

[Billy Budd]

I have brass for the 454 that has primer pocket for both small and large rifle primers. When shooting the brass with small rifle primers, on occasion, I'm getting some perforated primer with loads that are below max. Has anyone had good experience with a particular brand of small rifle (magnum?) primers.

Is your question about piercing primers or about people's 'good experience' with a brand of primer? Or, maybe you are assuming that the piercing problem is caused by the brand of primer?

I'm looking for a brand of Small Rifle Primers that someone has good experience with..... i.e. they are having problems with them piercing.

I own two FA-83's in 454 Casull. I have used the 7 1/2 Remington 100% of the time w/o any problems at all. Give them a try. You didn't mention what you were shooting the 454's in but in the FA revolvers as well as a Bullberry 454 Casull Encore barrel I have seen no reason to change from the 7 1/2's.

I would be willing to be that your pierced primers are not being caused by the brand of primer.

I'm shooting a 7 1/2" 5 shot Seville (no longer in production) and a Ruger Alaskan. I was using Remington 6 1/2 primers

A pair of FA's and I'm using Rem 7 1/2's as well...with zero issues.

used to reload for my 454 with winchester small rifle primer and 36 gr of H110 behind a hornady 250 gr. super accurate in my 12 inch T/C Encore pistol but quite a handfull.
