What's your fav .223 primer?
My favorite brand of primers is CCI, period. I find they are consistent in many respects. They also have very few duds compared to some others.
I've had good success with Federal and Winchester as well, but CCI is my favorite. I usually just buy what I can find, especially now. I have found these 3 to all be just fine. I don't like Federals that much because the boxes their primers come in are way too big. It becomes a pain in the arse to store 2000 of them when they take up twice the space.
My least favorite are Remington and Tula, with Tula being the worst. I had a bunch of duds on my last run of Tula. I don't know if it had to do with the depth of the primer, or that it was loaded overseas or something, but they didn't work well at all for me. I've found that Remington primers don't seat as tightly into primer pockets, so they are just above Tula primers.
EDIT: I have found that Remington small pistol primers don't seat as tightly. I should've been more specific. I haven't used Remington small rifle, but Remington large rifle have been fine and my dad loads them in his deer hunting rounds.
