[QUOTE="Eagle Six, post: 730289, member: 49457"] .....ditto...on Mr. Thomas ^^^^ Although I'm competitive, I don't participate in the formal sports shooting competition. So, like yourself I'm more interested in the results of the first shot, than the results of attempting an X ring on the 10 round. When developing loads and tuning a rifle, I strive to get that elusive 5th and 10th round into the group. Through the years, however, I have had my share of flyers on the 1st shot!! Like many others I have a budget, and if it comes between getting a new improved tool or having lead, powder and primers.....I will choose the components to keep me shooting. The flip side is, in my experience, the type, lot, and method used to seat those primers, can and has made a substantial difference. When I was younger I didn't think much about primers (...actually when I was much younger I probably didn't think much...period :D), but I was wrong.....primers and seating has proven to me to be a part of the loads I pay a lot more attention to than in the past. I press each with a hand tool and if it doesn't feel right, it goes in a separate pill or goes to the trash. Just my opinion, but the I think the better I do at getting every round in the center, the more of those 1st rounds will center. But, I do admit.....it adds more time to detail and more cost for the tools to get there. Best Regards......Eagle Six [/QUOTE]
