[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1445476, member: 10178"] It has been around 30 years ago that I discovered that primers do make a BIG difference. I had a 25-06 Remington built. I started doing my load work up and just could not get that rifle shooting like I thought it should. I could get it down to 3/4" groups but I knew I should be able to get under 1/2". I took the best powder and COAL load and just changed primers. CCI 250s went to shooting bug holes. 49 grs IMR 4350, CCI 250, Remington case, 117 Sierra Pro Hunter 20 thousands off the lands 3000 fps. I have killed a train load of deer with this combo over the years and with who knows how many rounds down the tube the rifle still shoots under 1/2". Since this first finding I have always switched primers to see which gives me best accuracy. Sure wish I could get some more of the Wolf primers. I still have some but I use them only with previously worked up loads. [/QUOTE]
