[QUOTE="Ghost7, post: 1168489, member: 89834"] Tricky, I currently use cci and win primers, so far I can't tell a measurable difference. I do clean primer pockeckets but do not uniform. My seating depth is .005 from lands. Keep in mind I use the Hornady OAL gauge so I don't know how precise it is but I am consistent in loading to same length. As far as shooting distance goes I was able to shoot out to 650 yds last weekend for the first time ever...wow! That was fun. I only shot the 95 gr Sierras. We were shooting at steel on a friends farm with a little wind. I didn't take any of the 105's with me but have shot them out to 400 yds, I was getting about a three " group. Not that good but I was pleased at the time. Not sure if they will stay stabilized out to 600-800-1000 yds. Find out soon. When I said if I show up, that is what I mean. Some days I shoot really well, for me, and some days not so good. .204" is best group with the 95's but on a off day it may be .600". The important thing is I know what it can do but I don't repeat it every time. Granted the weather conditions change so the environment changes.
