Large Small Rifle Primers for 6.5mm Creedmoore

[dbshabo]

I have noticed recently that 6.5mm Creedmoore brass is offered with small or large primer pockets. Is there an advantage of one over the other? I've only used large rifle primers for this rifle. Thanks in advance for any help with this question.

Better sd with the small and the pockets tend to hold up better. Seen a few guns have problems with the small in the cold and some powders tho.

Large rifle primers *may* be easier to find currently, or able to be obtained at lower cost per primer. Maybe. Might.

SP pocket brass tends to get better case life before primer pockets loosen up, assuming same brand of brass. Both can shoot very well. I like SP brass. You don't need a LP to set off 6.5 Creed loads. I would use Mag SR primers where it's real cold though.
