Cci450's

My bolt rifles get Fed GM205M, the semi's get GM205MAR or BR4 for stick powders. I also use CCI450 and WSR for ball powders.

Curious about WSR as well, anyone using them with good luck?

I use them in my 20 Vartarg with good success.

Federal 205M

 

[Tank308]

For the smaller case like 223 I use Fed 205's. 308 Palma and 260 sp brass I use Cci 450's Because they shot so good I never tried the others.

I prefer the Remington 71/2 and the Wolf SRM. They produce identical results for me. Both produce great result in all rifles I have tried them in. Still have about 7 K of the wolf. When those are gone I will be giving the GM205MAR a try followed by the CCI's.

Fed. 205M is a first choice when developing loads, but no longer shoot any rifles which use small primers.

CCI BR4

 

[Pointman]

I use CCI450 with good success in a number of rifles. The CCIBR4 I think is also a good one. Not running down others, just saying those have been good for me.

Agree on the BR4's. I use them in my long guns.

Good luck with both Federal 110 and 110M.

S&B are good for me, used SR, LR and SP, loading 223, 308 and 357 mag ammo respectively. Don't know if they import them to the US though.

I've used Rem 7 1/2 and CCI450 with great success. I've only used each one on separate guns so not sure which might be better.
