[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1512156, member: 2736"] The point i was making is that different components will/can have an effect on the quality and accuracy of your loads. Different cartridges will/can show a marked improvement and they need to be tested in order to find them. Another example is most of my large wildcats (Over 100 grains to 125 grains of powder prefer Fed 215 m,s over 215,s and some of the cartridges show a preference for LG rifle primers over magnum primers. So don't just settle for one brand or heat of primer without testing. The CCI BR2 primers seem to be the best for all of my 308 based cases using the powders that I do. But the same primer may not be as good with other powders. I start testing new loads with this procedure in the beginning. Cases with a volume around 40 to 50 grains I start with the CCI BR2 primer. cases with 50 to 70 grains of powder I will use large rifle primers. Over 70 grains I will start with Remington or the equivalent magnum primers. around 100 + grains I start with the 215 M's and sometimes try the 215's. So there is a best primer for each load, but you have to look for it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
