Anyone have 308 Lapua Palma SRP Brass

Small rifle primers are another story. :-/

Bass Pro in Dartmouth NS had CCI BR4 a few days ago, not a lot, but enough that 2 of us were able to get 500 each. They also had some regular CCI 400 primers.

If you're going to shoot in cold weather, I'd suggest using either large rifle primers or magnum small rifle. That's based on my experience with the SRP brass in 6.5 Creedmoor.

They all ignited ok, but SD and ES numbers were significantly higher using regular SRPs in cold weather.
I didn't develop a load using magnum SRPs, just switched to large primer brass for the cold months.

I don't know how much better SRPs are performance-wise in warm weather, if at all. It may just be that the primer pockets stay tighter with hot loads in SRP brass.

Chilly-
It's not a primer size issue-it's a flash hole diameter issue.
Lapua Palma brass has a .062" diameter flash hole.

Remington URBR brass has a.070" diameter flash hole.
I've fired 1000's of rounds down to -20degF w/o internal ballistic issues.
 
I used a bunch of Starline SRP 308 brass. Couldn't tell the difference. Should have bought more as I have a pile of small primers from my AR days.
