[QUOTE="diriel, post: 585846, member: 26983"] Have you tried winchester primers? Believe it or not I have had superb luck with them over the years. Don't get me wrong, I do keep a good supply of Fed 210m as well. Another thing you might try is "smoking" the bullet and seating it out till you just barely see the lands touching the "smoke". This has the side benefit of allowing you to easily see if your lands are all touching at the same time, as they should be. As far as your barrel not giving you the velocity you was hoping for, some barrels really are just slower than average. Other barrels can actually be a good bit faster than average. Especially with a Factory stick, it is luck of the draw really. I would not worry too much over it really. You might perhaps try a little bit of careful Fire Lapping... if you decide to do that, a little bit goes a LONG Ways... Gary [/QUOTE]
