Yeah I agree there, I have 4 different types of small rifle primers and have mix matched them several times. For 223 ranges I have not noticed any difference. Might have to check it if you were right on max load for your rifle but other than that just fire away.

Remington 7.5 supposed to be slightly harder and a bit more flash so more of a magnuim, better for the heavier projectiles.
I use them for everything and the big plus is they are cheap.
