Fixing to start working up loads for my .25-20 WCF using 120 gr. cast bullet and 4100 and #9 powders (not mixed).

Looking for recommendations for best primer to start with.

I found that Federal GM205M (that's Match, not magnum) worked much better than Remington 7 1/2 BR primers. When the Federals became unavailable I switched to CCI BR4 primers. They work as well, or maybe even better than the Federals.

Thanks, Jerry.  You seem to be the expert on the .25-20 WCF.

Jerry probably is the 25 GURU but it is due to a lot of work and persistence.
I second the BR4 primers also but i load 296 powder with the 120 gr Mos bullet. I had some trouble loading fed primers in my converted Win brass, hard to seat them.

Thanks for the feedback, dave.  Seems the BR4 primers are the way to go.  Just ordered some.
