I have shot tens of thousands and never had one problem, sum pretty hot, .17 and .22hornets, .17, .221fireballs, .222 .223, 6x47 rem etc.
I trust them, but not the large rifle, as had a couple let go.
I do prefer rem 7.5 if I can get them, and now use CCI 400 or BR4 in high intensity rounds, ie .17 fireball and 6x47rem.
Happy with WSR, in most stuff and they easy to get, and reasonable priced,
cheers
Finding it hard to get federal match so when offered these I wasn't too sure
whats your location, magnum sports (Stratford) has stacks of federal primers, the other day,
I know someone with quite a few thousand......Quote:
