Ditto on the CFE 223, meters very very well in all my powder measures.

PRIMER QUESTION
- Thread starter Putnambuck
- Start date
I just got a jug of CFE 223 today. Just got a little confused on the 6-1/2 primers.
I plan on starting on the low end of the (.223)powder data until I get a good load figured out.

I've been using the Sellier&Bellot with cfe223 powder with 55 gr fmj. Never have had a misfire. But this is just my 2 cents.
Tula primers if you can find them
All I could find today was CCI 450's. From what I've been reading they should be fine.
I appreciate everybody's input.

Not sure I just got into reloading myself. Go to the reloading section and ask there,someone may know there.
450s are good to go in an AR. Ymmv
CCI 41 for small rifle and 34 for large rifle are designed for semi auto use to prevent slam fires. They are harder, but function as designed in my experience.
Wow this thread all over the place. First those primer are fine to use. Just so you know small pistol and small rifle are the same size. I use SRP on all my pistol loads. So primers are not the issue. Sizing is the hardest part about reloading 223/556 rounds. Lake City and most military primers have crimps on the primer pockets. For sizing the brass I use Little Crow tool ($50) and for the crimp I use Dillon tool ($100). After that there're tons of powder that you can use.
Good luck
