Remington primers

[paulie]

Looking at equipment lists for short range benchrest, I’m not sure if I’ve often seen Remington 7 ½ primers as a component.
Are any / many shooters using this brand ?

I have a .30BR (custom built with a Borden action, Kreiger bbl, Jewell trigger, varmint-type stock). For whatever reason I just get better accuracy/consistency with Rem 7-1/2s than I do with F205s. My modified Rem 700s (.22BR and 6mmbr) seem to shoot better with the F205s. The .30BR really seems to shoot its best with Rem 7-1/2, 32.5 gr. H4198, BIB 112s seated just barely touching. That combo works for this rifle -- it might be a bit hot for some others.

I have no idea why, but that's what I've found.

Fine primer... Do not feel it is lesser due to infrequency of listing in BR equiptment lists.
Just that most use the 205 due to it.... Well, it just works so well. Proven time and time again.
Feel the Winchester WSR and the Wolf/Tula primers are QUITE capable too.
