[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 449733, member: 24624"] Many years ago I used whatever primers the local shop had on the shelf. I guess I didn't know any better or much care as we constantly had to re-zero our rifles after mucho miles running up and down caliche roads. But, since you guys got me hooked on this long range quest, I strive a lot for consistency and will only buy match primers. 210M (25-06, 6.5x284, 270, 30-06) and 215m (7mm Mag) are my preference. I couldn't get 210m's last summer and so bought 1,000 BR2's that seem to also be very consistent. My theory is that I'm after consistency more so than optimization. Sticking with one primer is easy. Keeping the runout <=.002" has been a challenge from time to time. Along those lines, I pretty much stick with h4831sc and rl22. I may not dial in the perfect load. But, I'm pretty satisfied that it's good enough for long range hunting. (white tail out to 700 yds is my objective) I have to send a huge thank you out to all of you folks and 6mmbr.com for the pointers. I'm sure I'd still be experimenting with every bullet, powder, primer combination. But, I've been pleased so far working up loads using components that reputable competetive shooters have been willing to share. Thanks! Richard [/QUOTE]
