Thanks for the clarification. Curious as to why I'm reading that 7-1/2 are what guys are using for 17 Hornet then...? Any idea?

Also interested in whether or not (or rather, WHY not) CCI isn't recommended? 400s or BR4s? Just what people happen to have on hand...or is there something special about the Remington ones? I've never even seen Remington primers for sale. Didn't know they even made them.
