Re: Primers
There are several other manufacturers of primers. I preferred to use RWS which out-performed all other brands in SD and group size bar none.
However, it is all in the barrel - whatever the barrel 'enjoys' is what counts.
Good luck!

Re: Primers
Other Brands are RWS ,Vihtivouri and Winchester.
All seem to work well, but the Federal primers are used by nearly all who shoot double action revolvers (they are softer than the rest).
These revolvers are well worked over with light trigger pulls and hence light hammer strikes.

Re: Primers
Federal brand primers MUST NOT be used with my automatic priming tool. Only CCI or Winchester brand primers are recommended (because they are safer). Accident with primer usualy happen only once ...
The most important aspect with primers is not the brand, but the precision with which they are installed.
Should you use Federal primers, be sure that you feed them one at a time.
Please, remember SAFETY FIRST!!!
Enjoy reloading,

Re: Primers
I've installed at least four cases of Federal automatically. Just bought my fifth case at Perry this summer. No problems. Precision of installation is definitely the most important factor. CCI seems to have wider tolerances in their diameters, lengths, and roundness than any other I've measured.
Primers really only need to be reliable. The variables of your hold & your trigger pull are so much more than anything the primer contributes, it's almost not worth talking about. As long as the gun goes bang instead of click, be happy.
