[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3293413, member: 15054"] I did some primer testing with the V-Max and 8208 but i may have used the 55gr. I used CCI 400, 550 and 450 primers in .223 federal cases. I was shooting them just too see which primer cup was tougher. The cci 400 was the weakest and it would blow a hole into the primer when over pressured. The cci 550 would be severely cratered and the 450 primer had just a small amount of cratering. As always work up your loads .. some guns just do not play nice as the chambers are tight or the grooves are tight and all data printed will not work out the same for your gun. As you know. Use the 400 primers and you will see pressure much sooner in those than the 450 primer. H 4895 for me in .223 and 5.56 with 60 and 55 Vmax and other 55gr bullets. 1-9 and 1-7 twist 8208 was not as accurate for me and my gun. [/QUOTE]
