[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 795799, member: 9551"] Why Remington primers? When I compared the mass of 50 of each of the CCI BR2, CCI 400, Fed 205M, Regular Fed 205, Russian Wolf and Remington small rifle primers, the Federals were the most uniform and Remington the worst. The CCI BRs were almost as good as the Federal Match Both "match" primers were measurably more consistent than the regular primers. In both cases the average mass was the same for regular and "match" primers. This tells me that the amount of priming mix, the "pellet" is the same for regular and match primers. I used a Laboratory Balance at a Biotech Lab that has its own room. Note that both Federal (Minesota) and CCI (Idaho) are owned by Blackhawk. The bench rest boys use 205Ms, end of story. It is hard to beat the Nosler brass. They are sorted and the outliers discarded. They also can be annealed. I use the Forster Shoulder Bump Neck Bushing Die. I use the Wilson seating die that was cut with my chamber reamer. [/QUOTE]
