[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 439020, member: 15748"] Tumbleweed, How many rounds, as in groups, have you fired here? No problem with your practice regimine, which sounds pretty reasonable for hunting/training. However, to truly evaluate the load, you need to fire some significant numbers into groups at these distances and see what happens. In long range (1000 yard) competition, you'll need to spend a pretty significant amount of time sorting through various lots of primers to find the one that works best. I'm not saying Remington 9 1/2s vs, Fed 215s, vs WLRMs here, either. I'm talking several different lots of 215s, etc., to see which one works best. I seriously doubt that you've gotten any "bad" primers here, but I have no doubt whatsoever that you've run across some that performed significantly better than others of the same brand and make.
