Before I go buy any primers for my 25 ACP conversion that I purchased for my Omega, I was wondering what brand forum members prefer???

I have only used Winchester small rifle primers as that is what I had in my drawer of primers. I have not done any comparison as yet.

I just looked in my primer stash and found some Federal small rifle and some Remington small rifle benchrest primers. I'll probably get some Winchester or CCI primers and try shooting groups this weekend, just to see if there is any difference (I would doubt it).

I use CCI primers in mine. Accuracy is excellent.

Thanks for the info. I tried both Winchester and CCI this past weekend and they both shot the same. I was shooting 250 Gr. T/C Shockwaves with 105 grs. of BM3. Under 2" groups at 100 yds. Thats the load I'll be using on North Carolina whitetails next week.

Sounds like you found a good load.

How much different do the Small Pistol Primers shoot compared to the Small Rifle Primers? Also, any crud difference between the 2? Thanks-Jack.

i have used both and did not notice any difference. But I want the hotter of the two for winter use.
