    Light strikes. It's probably not a issue with their stranded rifle primers.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

I don't know what a magnum small rifle cartridge is, maybe 222 Rem Mag or something like that. I use BR4 to load 30 carbine. It has a floating firing pin like an AR. So does my Ruger Mini. I think Rem 71/2 is also a mag small rifle primer. Vaglocker, I think I read someplace that mag primers use a different compound so I would be careful with those.
    The BR4 is CCI's bench rest match primers. Their AR primer is the CCI 41.

    That's what the label says. I used them for F class and they did fine in a rifle.
    But that does not say what it IS as far as cup thickness, amount of mix, anvil location. Is it physically a small rifle primer or a small rifle magnum primer? Probably not a small rifle military (41) primer.

    I didn't know that, thanks for the correction. I have a bunch of 450's and have no idea when or why I bought those. I suppose they'll work in a pinch for regular 400 primers. I usually load for mid range velocity. I'm hoping I won't have to use those.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    I just posted a test on using small rifle primers in the 9mm.

    Atlas Gunworks posted a video on SPP comparisons with Rifle, Small Pistol, and Magnum, results were no negligible difference:

    In another forum, people are asking about using small pistol primers in rifles. I guess I'll try that next.
