[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1900548, member: 313"] I use the Lapua SRP brass in my Browning 6.5 Creed and find it to be very consistent. "I believe" that using a small primer in larger cases started with the BR crowd. 308 win brass with small primer pockets was reported to provide better or more uniform combustion. Lapua may have decided to go with a small pocket to promote better uniformity in an accurate cartridge (6.5 Creed) or for the increased case head strength that it provides. With a smaller pocket there is just more brass in the head to resist primer pocket expansion when pressures are high. Many competitive 6.5 Creed shooters use heavy loads under heavy, high BC, bullets. A stronger case head would provide longer case life with loads that are on the higher edge of the pressure limits [/QUOTE]
