BIGBOREFAN,

I have always used the CCI-350's. Did you check the website I posted for you to look at for some pretty good reloading data? I think it was a thread you started on Graybeard's site some time ago. Don't remember which forum though...BCB

I use Federal large rifle (210) primers in my 445SM. I have read several places that you should use rifle primers in the 445. It operates at much higher pressures. Star Line brass makes the 445 brass to accept large pistol primers so I use a Sinclair rifle primer pocket uniformer to cut the pockets to the correct depth.
