[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 1187120, member: 23070"] As far as primers I'm using fed 210M. But the cci br2 worked well too. My situation is a little strange. I had the gun by extremely talented and fantastic gunsmiths but when I received the gun I tried 6 seating depths, 2 powders, 3 primers and 3 bullets and couldn't get a group to break an inch. The rifle is a stiller tac 30, benchmark 1:8twist sendero contour barrel finished st 26, jewel trigger, McMillan a5 stock, nightforce nxs scope. I send it back to the smiths and they looked it over and shot it and nothing seemed to be wrong but it just wouldn't shoot. They swapped rings and bam! Right away started shooting. I got the rifle back late in the year and load development never really got started. Because they didn't want to over charge the load they started with a safe 42gr oh H-4350 .005 thou off the lands and it shot amazing. So I bought some new rings and stuck with the load up until now. I will be re starting load development on it too see if I can keep or increase accuracy and pick up addition fps. But when the rifle wasn't shooting, I believe i started st 42grs, and went up to 46-46.5. I'll have to check my book to verify. I had some pressure there but nothing major. [/QUOTE]
