That's probably a little dear for br4. Q store has them at $11 per hundred. You could try the cci small rifle magnum 450 primers ($7).

I have been using Lapua Palma brass since it's inception and I checked every forum and site that I could find which was mainly US.
There was some comprehensive testing done by many and invariably the most consistent results were gained by using CCI 450 which is the small rifle magnum primer.
I have never had any issues with them and no cause for complaints so haven't used anything else.
You could always get a hundred of each type of small rifle primer and try them to see which one suits your rifle/chamber/reloading technique and delivers best accuracy.

I guess in qualification, I should say that I use AR2206 & VV N550 in the Palma case - both relatively easily lit powders.

The worst thing that happened for reloaders was when ADI took 2206 off the market as it was an ideal powder for several calibres and 2206H is a very inferior substitute.
You must have had a good supply to still have some! Wish that I had laid in a big supply, but with reloading for two and looking at the empty 4kg 2208 containers laying around it would appear to have been an impossible task.
