Does anyone see a difference using different primers?

[QUOTE="journeymanwirecontrols, post: 2916606, member: 77290"] When I'm working up a new load for my rifles I test a minimum of three sometimes four primers with the particular bullet, powder, case and rifle combo, and have gotten some drastic differences. I also test a mild, medium, and a hot load on each primer I test with five shot groups so I know what each combo is about. I know we are all worried about supplies, and I'm no different than anyone else. That's why my shooting and testing for the last few years has slowed way down, unfortunately. I do know this for sure though, my groups have either started out looking shabby and closed up nice and tight by the time I get through the hot load or visa/versa, this will do the same thing in a small case like the 223 rem or any big caliber/magnum case you want to test. It's gets even more extrem with the big magnums. I know that's a lot of testing, but it's the only way I've been able to come up what a different primer will do to or for mmyload development. Anyway, thanks for listening, that's just my two cents on the subject, have a great night. Erik. [/QUOTE]
