[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 446579, member: 15748"] Firecat, Actually, there are right and wrong answers here, they just don't come down to brand preference or opinion. Unfortunately, there's no SINGLE "right" answer. The answer is, yes, primers can (and usually do) make a significant difference in long-range accuracy. While one brand may perform a bit better than others in a given rifle, it doesn't end there; there's differences between lots from the same manufacturer as well. In other words, this lot number of CCI BR-4s will perform better than that lot of CCI BR-4s. All this comes down to a matter of of testing, and there's really no way around that. All this primer selection is fairly well known among Long Range competitive shooters, and we tend to devote a fair amount of energy to it as a result. Most hunters, at least in my observation, tend to be a bit less concerned about primers. Good to see the topic getting some attention. As Sam Wilson once said, "you don't 'know' what you 'think'; you only 'know' what you MEASURE!" Performance and accuracy can be measured with regards to primers, and it's time well spent.
