[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 823249, member: 18849"] I know where you are coming from Mike...After Election when we entered into our on-going component shortage...I was sitting with a less than a brick of mixed primers....couple hundred CCIs, 400 WIN, 300 hundred Rems....what a dilemna.....Finally end up picking up FEDs at about half a brick per store visit and thats still all I can get.... Short story goes I did a "quicky" test on the 6.5-06 is in process of load developement.....4 different primers, 4 five shot groups....Results; SDs all single digit , average velocity within 25 fps over all 20 shots, very decent groups all (similar cloverleaf style)...But 4 different relationships to the Bullseye!..3:00, 12:00, 6:00, 9:00 O-clock (or similar disparity)......Without too much thought I concluded that the lock time variances (though very small) showed up real well with my old & decrepid bag manners..... You are right that anybody can make them fire but reasonable care must be taken to make them fire as close to the same every time...Now if a person really wanted to get down to the nitty gritty of it, they could test different crush values with each primer to see if I could get any two of them to act exactly the same....Trouble is, with todays manufacturing pocesses and the quality controls that sometimes don't surround them, it is getting hard to find consistency within the same flat of primers!....Do a visual of the amount of compound...Check the cup lengths...Check the cup/anvil connection.....Really amazing how we get anything to shoot..... Good shooting, Randy [/QUOTE]
