[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 875399, member: 51650"] Canadian Bushman Yes, sort of..... Primers are icing on the cake. Gotta have a good cake recipe first. I start with a good primer and vary the powder charge to find my best load. I try several powders and choose the best from that test series. THEN I try different primers. Just an aside, if your load is holding a good group out past 400yds or so and then suddenly burps up to something greater (1/2 minute jumps to 1 1/2 minute) you may have stability issues. The bullets may be Lurching to conform to aerodynamic pressure. Trying a different bullet can help. I try to stay at the heavy end of what the barrel twist will stabilize. Try your primer change on your best load and see if it gets better. But don't discount a different bullet of the same weight. Lots of testing, but its lots of fun to pull that trigger. [/QUOTE]
