Primers

So what primers are you guys using with your 450 BM loads? Seems like the larger chargers of H110/W296 and Lil'gun would benefit from a hot primer. What works best so far for you?

fwiw - 300 XTP mags at max load (Hornady 9th data) with current production lil gun shows no signs of pressure in my gun, loaded with cci 400's. but they do pack one helluva wallop! lol probably the most recoil i've noticed in my 450 to date....snip...
