altheman2:
I 2nd Ron on this....always use CCI when i can get them if i cant i try for federals....never had a problem with either. Stuck on CCI because thats what my dad always used

farmrboy:
I use any brand of primer except Remington. I had problems with them many yrs ago and decided to stay away from them. You said the problem gradually got worse? It sounds like a problem with the gun though. I would recomemend calling cust serv.

D1sclaimer:
Sorry to bump an old thread.  Have you tried the CCI primers yet?

That's what I use in my X Frame and have had no issues with them.  I've yet to have a pierced primer or any other issue with around 300 max loads with Alliant 300-MP and CCI LR (non-magnum) primers.

bk09:
Federal primers have had a 100% detonation on the first try. Gone through probably 200 so far. No need for me to switch now that I found ones that work, thanks though.

unfy:
I've had good luck with winchester and cci pistol primers.

I've had some fail-to-fire on my 357mag, but I think that's due to improper seating (meaning it's all user-too-stupid heh).


Out of curiosity - 357mag with win296 powder out of a 2-2.5" barrel is an absolute joy to shoot ... makes factory ammo a joke for the most part.  Do hand loads in 500sw also increase the 'joy' of shooting the weapon by leaps and bounds ?  And no, I'm not referring to cost per trigger pull  :P
