    Couple of other things to consider, how strong is your primer strike from your firing pin.
    What type of powder are you going to burn.
    Some firing pins fall lightly such as the standard Tikka, so Federals would be a good choice for them.
    Some powders like a hot igniter like a magnum primer. W760 powder is a classic for needing hot primer ignition.

    Thanks John,

    Will use H4350, and shooting from a Howa. Do not really know about the strike from the firing pin since I do not something to compare it with. This is what the strike look like on factory ammo:
