[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 267624, member: 10"] I really do not think it really matters. Your rifle will tell you which primer is best for it by reading the velocity spreads when you shoot over the chrono. I have shot well over 100,000 CCI primers including CCI-300, 350, 400, 450, 200, 250, BR-2, BR-4 and CCI-35 primers. Of those, the I have only had one misfire that I can positively say was caused by the primer. That was in a 22-250 AI with a CCI-BR2 primer. I have probably shot 30,000 Fed-215 primers and I have never had a misfire. So I guess mathematically, the CCI primers produce more misfires in my experience, I guess. I will say, the Fed-215 standard primer is a hotter primer then the 215M match version. For real cold weather hunting, the standard would be a better choice but to be honest, with the powders used in the Edge, generally easy to ignite stick powders, and not huge doses, 90-93 grains, any large rifle primer will generally work pretty darn well. Again, check your extreme spreads and your rifle will tell you which primer you should use. [/QUOTE]
