308SakoMore thoughts on primers
I know we all have our favorite tried and true reciepes which contain one major brand of ignitor or the other. But I some times wonder when trying to eek out the last little bit of accuracy or consistency from a load, do the mechanics of the ingition system make a major difference in how well some primers work. Sort of like saying... do Brand X prefer light strikes and does brand Z prefer heavy crushing blows. We talk about reading primers for pressure signs, and other efforts which might best be spent with a crystaline ball, but I am also sure that some of you have had similiar thoughts and observations from time to time. Giving credit where it is do, blame the .22 Hornet for this type of thinking. I guess I better breakout the H & H for a few rounds to clear my head and realign my shoulder.

vapodogGot your hard hat on?

You need to get out shooting more often.....varmints was made to tide us over between hunting seasons.

308SakoHeck, I don't have to go outside to shoot, just hang it out the window! But varmints is the brides passion, local rodents are in a heap of trouble should the Mrs. spot them.

Cossack2Actually, given the powder and bullet as constants the brand of primer used makes a big difference not just to accuracy but safety. But if you just want to shoot then work up a load with any appropriate primer and stick with it.
