Thread: Federal Primers Stock

Is there any real difference between Federal LR and White River LR primers?

A mate has been using White River LR and there performing perfectly well

@Seventenths
In some 243W and 30.06 loads I'm using WR Primers as direct substitute for Federal 210. Accuracy, velocity POI haven't changed. One differebne is WR primer cups are deeper / taller than the Federals. I find in my Norma brass I have to seat WR Primers with a little more grunt to ensure they don't project above case head level. But in Sako and Remington brass they seat below head level.

Absolutey not. WR are made robotically. Good product. The world atlas has spun.

Well the robot as some accuracy issue they are definitely taller than any other primer I used. Quite annoying to have to uniform primer pocket to get them to fit properly...

I run the KnM 3 in 1 uniformer[now] on all my brass.Both for large and small. No WR primers are proud. Priming off T7 ram.
