[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 472163, member: 17593"] Ryan, yes , primers Do make a difference! Use the reloading manuals; more than one. Each have a wealth of knowledge in them. Don't just read the reloading chapters either; the best info is before (and after) the loading sections. As to your question about primer differences; they do make a considerable difference and can get you into trouble by using the wrong ones. If you use a standard primer with ball powders in a "magnum" cartridge; that can lead to misfires and/or hangfires and poor accuracy. If you use a magnum primer where a standard one is indicated by the loading manual; you will get into high pressures and serious consequences! That's just a couple cases. It's very important to work up loads; always start low and work up. Some of the best results won't be at the top. Each gun is a law unto it's own; what works in one won't always work in another. Being careful as you load is most important. Listen to those folks who have had a long and successful reloading experience; and read the books ! Charles [/QUOTE]
