primers make a difference!

[Seabeeken]

I changed from CCI to another brand in my 250 and my numbers dropped to single digit and phenomenal groups. Made a believer out of me

To me, primers are a factor in Sd mostly….I like Winchester. I think reworking up the load with that primer or maybe the BR4 will get you that next improvement.

**** I hate these necro-threads!

Agreed. I do the primer changes for ES/SD as well if the load is good but SD#s are higher than I like. I don`t know if it is the current lot of Fed 215s I have or what, but I have been able to cut #s nearly in half by switching to CCI 250s lately. My .02

Won't use Winchester primers since they burned holes in my bolt face.

Not to hijack this thread but I know that was a problem way back in 2017-2018. Winchester paid me for three bricks I had and they covered shipping. I haven't heard of the problem since then.

You should have had some WLRM primers.

I did too.The new ones fit much tighter than the problem ones.Zero issues with the new ones.
