My primary concern is advice he is getting from his buddy, also a rather new relaoder, as to which primer to use, and that it isn't necessary to use a CCI #41 type, verses standard SR primers.
I'm not a big AR reloader, so I don't have a ton of experience. But my understanding is to play it safe with regard to slam fires, and use the thicker cup less sensitive primer.
Further more, isn't it more likely that a slam fire will occur out of battery? I consider this even more so a risk since he is brand new into the hobby, so the likelihood of some loaded brass that didn't get the shoulders bumped enough, may find it's way into the chamber with a standard SR primer, therefore more susceptible to a catastrophic event.
Please advise me on the overall consensus, and the reasoning as to why it is, or is not a heightened concern to use a #41.
