Seems I have the choice of
federal 210
CCI
Murom
I have some 210, so was contemplating some others....
Unless someone knows of others? BR2 seems well thought of but I cant find any.

I purchased and used 15K of them in small rifle a few years ago. Used them loading for my .38SC pistol.
$28 Per thousand at the time
In the complete absence of any Federal SR, I got some Murom SR primers off Dave the other day, but I haven't tried them yet. He said something about them being bit hard for some guns. I'm not expecting any issues in an AR with it's free-floating firing pin.
I bought a 1000 small and large, havn't had a problem yet. Good value .
Never heard of them. Looking forward to hearing for more folks that have.

At the price they have CCI/Fed , you are saving about $15 per thousand aprox , I would use the US made ones , you are only looking at these due to low stocks of US primers , I used some of the Russian primers yrs ago that a mate gave me , I loaded them into a std 308 load I use , 175gr SMK bullet on top of 45gr of 2208 , and the primers looked like they could not handle the pressure , they where flattened totally .
As a result of that testing ( 5rds ) , I did not load any more ammo with the russian primers .
In short you will probablily get mixed veiws on wether these are any good , to me in rifles , not worth the risk .
In pistols , at lower pressure they maybe OK .
Later Chris
I have recently struck problems with Russian large rifle primers that I have been using for some years. They seem to be blowing pin-holes near the outer edge, gas is etching bolt-face. Also had hang-fires from the magnum variety in a friend's 270WSM, no such problem with American primers. Won't be buying any more.
Anyone sell wolf primers? They're meant to be the shit

Murom are sold as Wolf in the US. They're Russian and are sold under a number of names TulAmmo, Wolf, PMC, Murom.
I had read somewhere that they used to make primers for PMC but did not want to say anything incase I was wrong and I used to use nothing but of PMC primers after having FTF's with CCI and winchester primers and got some really good loads from them.Quote:

Turns out they are Wolf/Tula primers. Meant to be the most consistent you can get.
Yeap , having a primer blow and gas cut your bolt face , can put you OFF using the offending primer anymore ( in rifles anyway ) , its not nice having a new Sako or a TC de-faced by a substandard primer while using std load from the ADI manual , been there done that , did not like it .
