I didn't think of posting it here last night. My bad.
I was so excited.

I have a box that I bought during the pandemic, but I haven’t loaded them yet. I’ve had good luck with Federal & CCI primers completely - Winchester more spotty.

LGS seemed to think they are more consistent than “regular” primers. And they are the same price as regular primers now because I think they’ve been sitting there for a few years. Might go pick them up….

Have read that the production line of the match or bench rest primers is staffed with the more experience people. It seems there is still the human element in the manufacturing process. I have never attempted to see If I could notice any difference and doubt that even when my hands were steadier and eyes were sharper that I could.

They do tend to cost more and who doesn't like spending more?

I read you could but . ..
I have in the past used standard small rifle primers (CCI 400) as magnum small pistol with good results (.357 w/W296). I believe that different brands vary considerably. SRM are probably intended to light spherical powders in things like .223, .22-250. Also read somewhere that some brands use the same primer for both small pistol magnum and standard small rifle, just packaged differently. But I don't know for certain.

These links reference the same paper. I can't find a comparison between CCI 400 and 450 primers but it may be interesting just the same.

I keep reading all over the ether about small magnum rifle primers substituted for Small magnum Pistol Primers for .357 but cannot find any support for it, it all talks about just small pistol primers and small rifle primer substitutions.

Probably a re-worked combination of the other components, brass, bullet, powder, gun, nerve, would yield good results. Published data from the people who make the stuff is still the best bet.
Yeah I read that one. Had to go on my VPN cus
