Once you use a CCI primer, ive found you dont want to change brands, pocket is oversize from their use. If I use them, I keep using them. When I work up a new batch of brass, I wont start with CCI, thare good on used cases with loose pockets.

I had lots of problems with CCI primers... I havent used them in years.
