I purchased several hundred new brass for .308 with small primer pockets, no load data caveats to watch for ?

Thank you for your response !!Going to SRP isn't going to have a large effect on the load unless you are shooting in very cold weather and more likely with some of the older ball/spherical powders. Changes in case volume will likely have a greater effect.
I'm confused, so when our military goes into cold climates, they switch all their ammo to cases with large rifle primers? Or do they leave the 5.56 at home and just use spears? I never knew.recommend you sell the SRP brass to a buddy. For hunting, I would stick to LRPs. There are a lot of reported issues with the small primers in very cold weather. I’m not negative on the small primers—I use them for f-class comps—but for hunting, I want the assurance that there will be a bang in any weather. I guess if you hunt in temps always above freezing you will be ok.
Well, they aren’t trying to ignite 40gr of powder with a small rifle primer and they’re using high brisance primers to boot, so there’s that.I'm confused, so when our military goes into cold climates, they switch all their ammo to cases with large rifle primers?

Military ammunition uses #41 primers for 5.56 and #34 primers for 7.62 which are equivalent to magnum primers with additional features to reduce the possibility of slam fires.I'm confused, so when our military goes into cold climates, they switch all their ammo to cases with large rifle primers?
