Primer cup hardness.

[thegunnut]

Haven't bought primers for a while and am probably not current on who makes the primer with the hardest cup. Used to be Remington.
My preference is the harder the better.... no false pressure signs etc.
Opinions / experiences please.
Thx

CCI are the hardest.

Federal are the softest.

Winchester and Remington are about the same.

X2 with RePete
alot of revolvers with light hammer springs will not get a CCI primer to go
I stick with Federal all the way personally

Have some revolvers that won't do Winchester.

I am with RePete from start to finish. Any make of primers in semi-autos, but Federal for my revolvers & especially those to be shot in DA only, due to something like PPC.
