which primers for Lapua 6.5CM?

[Darkside-Six]

wondering which small primers will everybody be using with these now? I have an AE MKIII with a standard 308 bolt and firing pin that has not been bushed. I see a lot of people use the CCI BR-4 and the CCI450 small rifle magnums with the 6.5x47L with great results. I'm trying to decide which ones would be better for me being I have a standard firing pin.

Cci 450

I have used both with the 6.5x47 but stayed with the 450.

Remington 7 1/2 will work well too.

I use Fed205m in my 6.5x47 and they work very well for me and give great results.

Are any of these that you guys listed been used with a regular sized firing pin?

I'm planning on trying out CCI BR4 first, hoping to find some Federal 205M AR Match in stock eventually as I'd like to switch over to those completely in my .223 / 6.5 Grendel.

I use a regular sized firing pin with CCI 450 with no issues.

CCI 450's work well for me in 6.5x47
Fed 205's also worked equally well, just ran out and had a stockpile of 450's
EDIT: regular sized stock firing pin, Rem 700

Who can afford BR4's?
Just a waste of coin.

Same for me. I use them on 6.5x47 non-bushed FP and all good. Plus it's an added bonus that the SDs are tighter. The 450 is what my new Lapua Creed brass will get.

I felt the same way but then I tried them out and cut my SD/ES in half. Maybe I just got lucky and that combination worked but I was unable to find 205/205M/205MAR in stock and I had tried the Remington 7 1/2 and Winchester SR with no luck. They are rather expensive but I always try to buy them during sales.
