[QUOTE="long450, post: 206657, member: 8426"] My opinion based upon years of shooting highpower rifle, not benchrest, is that the match primers are a little more consistent. Some consistently better and some consistently worse than non-gold primers. It depends upon the rifle and the caliber andpowder. The 300 Rum is not a typical benchrest caliber (I am sure you already knew that) so determining small differences primers make between match and non-match primers may be difficult. In the end you have to look at your particular rifle and your particular load to see which primers makes any significant difference. You'll need a good chronograph to help in the determination. Ranges such as 200 yards or less may also mask any vertical stringing from primer variance. I would suggest any testing be done at 300+ yards if just looking at groups. My 300 Rum custom 10 twist, prefers CCI magnum over Gold primers. So use what you can find to start with. I have not seen anyone interested in selling small quantities of primers in a few years. I guess because of the extra fee for shipping. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
