[QUOTE="L.Sherm, post: 1786879, member: 102083"] What really opened my eyes to how much a different primer can tune a load was about 12 years ago my nephew brought me a Ruger 338WM to work up a load for. I have a 338 WM in a Sako L61. I used the same brand of brass, bullets and powder on his Ruger to start out with was getting frustrated best I could get it to shoot was 1.25- 1.5 groups. I was just about to give up and say well that's all this factory rifle will do. Read an article about primer change figured what the #### got nothing to loose, changed the primer and it literally cut the group in half I was amazed. I use the exact same powder, charge, brass, and bullet but I have to use a different primer in the Ruger. It really opened my eyes to what a primer change can do. [/QUOTE]
