    Primers

    What primer do you all find you get the best accuracy out of and performance.

    For me its CCI BR's.

    I have never tried Federals.

    I have pretty good success with Wolf and CCI with Ramshot True Blue in the 5.7X28. It's going to depend on the powder/primer combo. You may find a powder that works great but you might be able to tweek it a little better using a different primer.

    For my other loads I use Remington and CCIs.

    I'm loading 308, 223, 6.8spc and a few others. I use win for a cheap blasting load right now but overall the BR I really like. I've never tried the wolf. Next time I buy some I'll try the wolf.

    I've noticed the same. Same load a primer can make quite a bit of difference.

    For my .30 cals I use CCI's. For my .223 it CCI 41 with good results.

    Hi, Here are two targets at 100 yards. The top was 5 rounds of 155 grain Hornady A-Max on top of 42.5 IMG_0303.jpg grains of Tac, the primers were CCI bench rest (35.00) a box. The bottom target was the same load with the exception of being lit by Wolf LR primers (15.50) a box.

    Federal 210M here.

    SD range is no greater than 10fps when all other aspects remain consistent on a given lot of match prepped ammunition.
