I know this may be a silly question. Is there one brand of small rifle primer that gives more consistent results when it comes to reloading the 357 Maximum?

I have always used Winchester primers for everything, but feel the need to try other primers when reloading the 357 Maximum. Always wanted to do a study on primers.

I plan on trying the following primers: Please let me know if I have missed any brands of small rifle primers that would be acceptable for use with the 357 Maximum.

Winchester small rifle
Remington 7 1/2
Federal 205
Federal 205M
CCI 400
CCI 450
CCI BR4

Are magnum or benchrest primers necessary or personal choice?

I've used both the Rem 7 1/2 and CCI BR4 in my Max. Can't say one is better than the other. I'm very interested in your results please post them.

I use CCI BR-4 in my .357 max. because I already had them for my .221 and they seemed to work quite well. That is my only experience with SR primers.

What ever is on sale.
