[QUOTE="SilverbulletMAG, post: 1606826, member: 108181"] Don't really care to debate this topic as I don't care one way or another what someone chooses for brass, primer or otherwise. I didn't say everyone that runs SRP is a competitive shooter. Most seem to be however. In a hunting rifle, with all things being equal, there is no appreciable difference in accuracy in SRP vs LRP in a 6.5. Unless of course you're in a cold, wet, nasty hunting scenario and the SRP fails to fully ignite. Then you may end up with a 6" miss. In reality though, the 6" miss you mentioned comes down to the shooter, not the primer they chose... I think Jim Kauber summed it up nicely: "[B][B]Observations, personal opinion and what you didn’t see:[/B][/B] Looking at the performance data for these calibers, the 260 SRP clearly had the lowest SDs and ESs. The 6.5 Creedmoor LRP had lower SDs and ESs in 3 of 5 firings and the 6 Creedmoor SDs were essentially the same though the LRP exhibited slightly lower ESs. So, at least in our 300 shot LRP/SRP comparison test, there wasn’t the monumental SRP performance advantage over the LRP like anticipated, actually just the opposite occurred. The differences for the most part were insignificant when it comes to range performance." [URL]https://alphamunitions.com/kaubers-corner-large-vs-small-rifle-primers/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
