In researching SRP, I came across the old repeated warning about AR platforms needing thicker cupped primers to thwart the dreaded slam fire potentiality. Is there even one documented/verified instance of a slam fire happening in an AR because of the use of regular SRP?
I think about how many millions of .223 factory rounds (Not 5.56 NATO with thick/hard primers) have been fired through AR15s in the last 30yrs. Nobody ever says you can't shoot .223 ammo in an AR15. However, when the question directed at hand loading, it's "OMFG, better use those #41s or you'll blow your face off!" Also to consider is the service rifle competition shooters. They aren't all using #41 primers, are they?
