Winchester primers in AR-15?

[Hoosier Reloader]

WSR primers, used them for years. No problems.

Sometimes I feel better when I don't read as much. It seems like all the things I have done for years are things that I should be fearing. As for Winchester Primers for an AR, I use them right along with my CCI's (which everyone seems to hate around here) and my Federals (which Richard Lee seems to think are all faulty and explode in his presses). For me, it is a matter of who has 5,000 primers in stock when I go to buy them.

BTW, I have had no problems with ANY of the primers I use after thousands of rounds through my AR.

I don't have a AR yet, but I supposed primers are to be seated a little below flush? Sounds like it couldn't hurt anything anyway and would help w/the slamfire occurances..

I have never had a slam fire in any GI type rifle I own. I also like and use CCI or Remington B/R Primers.

I have had pierced primes on loads with Federal match primers which were safe with the Remington/CCI B/R primers in my AR.


I like the Remingtons the best, but if I can't get them CCI's willl shoot about the same.

WSR's are good. Reloaded about 1000 of them, no issues whatsoever. I use them w/ my reloads in a RRA upper. H335 and Varget.
