I was surprised with Cals data that no one uses AR205M, certainly have proved a better option that CCI 450 in a few cases I used them in

Apart from CCI BR primers with the marking or primers that are not nickel plated (Rem 7 1/2), it's also difficult to tell what primers people are using externally.

I suspect a lot of that data is not particularly exact... 'Here is my favourite load, I'm telling everyone so they can run out and panic buy my preffered components!'

For example, we now have Vihtavuori (VV) primers circulating in Europe, but not for sale in the civillian market unless you have contacts...
