I have a qustion on primers

[MG's]

I was wanting to know what is the softest primer that is in 762x39 that is factory loaded ammo or hand loaded ammo.I was guessing if I had a primer that was very soft then it might help my AK47's cycle better when I'm bump firing.

So please help,
Thanks

From what I hear Federal primers are the softest. This is the order from soft to hard.
Federal
Magtech
Remington
Winchester
CCI
Hope this helps.

Primers, maybe? Typically people try to avoid sensitive primers in military rifles with floating firing pins. If the "bump firing" you mention is what I think it is I don't think primer sensitivity or softness would really matter.
