I believe the consensus on this is to you the small rifle magnum primers (part # KVB-556M). The other primers have difficulty igniting ball powders, such as H335 or WC844 or WC 846. KVB-556M appears to ignite these without issue.
I have some of the KVB-223 primers but I have not tried them with ball powders (I am using WC844, which is very similar to H335). |

There has been a lot of discussion on what exactly is a Tula "M" primer and I have yet to see a clear explanation. I have read that the Tula "magnum" primer has a harder cup like a CCI mil-spec primer and is not hotter like a CCI magnum primer.
The problem with this is the fact that Tula makes a mil-spec primer too. I have seen threads where people were complaining about Tula's and H-335/WC-844. Does Tula have an official web site where they describe there products and their intended uses? |
