Does anyone see a difference using different primers?

[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2916844, member: 26077"] I originally said I rarely saw any real differences by switching primers. The one exception to that is large capacity cases. 7 RUM, 300 RUM, 375 Ruger, 460 Bee and 338-378 etc. I have had a lot of click-Booms with CCI 250. Have also had them fail to go off at all. The powder inside the case had been ignited and was caked and hard, but not hot enough to set the charge off. This was in 60F weather, it gets WAY worse as it gets colder. That is why I use Win mags in any case over 75 grains and Fed 215 in any case over 90 grains. I save the CCI 250 for all hunting loads from 40-75 grains. I have not loaded a non-magnum primers in hunting loads in over 40 years. I have always been able to get into the .5 or better range with this method. My best shooting hunting rifles will consistently do .25 for 3 shots a 100 yards, and hold that MOA out to 800, which is my self imposed limit on live game.. [/QUOTE]
