Supplies...or lack thereof

rugermanx:
As of right now I am up to trying any type of small rifle primer (anything but federal that is) But since these small rifle primers are bound for an AR has anyone actually had this problem personally or is this "forum rumors" and friends of friends of forum members? I prefer the direct yes I had that problem or no never seen it.

Randy:
Lee Reloading manual specifically states due not use Federal Primers in a progressive multiple capacity primer tray because of the fact that if one primer gets misaligned and it detonates while trying to be feed into the shell primer pocket the entire primer tray will most likely go off.

That is specific enough for me and I will not be the guinea pig.

Wolf Primers have become quite popular in today's world of buy what you can find market.

rugermanx:
Well the primer tray thing isn't my problem, Just haven't had much good luck with anything federal. Used a few in shotguns, and a few in a pistol, didn't really like what I saw.

Dan W:
I load Federal primers in all pistol ammo that I want to make sure goes BANG, but they are too soft for a rifle IMHO. 

rugermanx:
Wow gotta love the differences in opinions and brand loyalty. Dan, if I want to make sure it goes bang I will ONLY put a Winchester into it. Don't take that the wrong way tho. Its just funny how it seems that Chevy guys will stick with Chevy's and Ford guys will stick with Fords. NO matter how many times they are on the side of the road or how much time they spend in the shop. Not saying that I have had a problem with Winchester because I have not. But Once again Federal and I seem to have a history of not getting along. The ONLY shotshell I have had that didn't go off had a federal primer in it. Luckily it didn't happen on skeet nite. and it just seemed like they were burning different in the pistol than winchesters. Almost like the reloads weren't shooting as fast as my other reloads using about the same amount of powder and win primers. Both loads were supposed to crank out about the same speed and power. Just seemed to be a noticeable difference in the reaction and feel of the shots. Maybe its all in my head but i can't convince it of that, at least not until I have a chrony to prove it with.
