In my search for a more consistent load for my F/TR rifle I'm looking for suggestions for a new small rifle primer to use in the Lapua Palma brass. I use CCI #41's for my .223 loads, but, I'm worried that they won't be as good as something else.
Another concern is my bolt has a large firing pin hole. I'm thinking a harder cup might be required until I can have it bushed.

I've used CCI Benchrest, Federal Small Match, and Remington.

They all return similar variance over the chronograph.

Rem 7.5 BR in my .223, CCI450 in BR/Palma cases... #41 for gas-gun SHTF loads.
