I'm a CCI guy, but also a big believer in picking something and sticking with it.  If you keep one thing consistent, it makes it easier to tweak the other thing.  If you keep changing items, how do you know which item helped and which hurt?

I have put a good number of primers to work. I have seen slightly more consistency with the gm's then the rest, but in all honesty, if you can get a brick of cci and load from the same lot......you will be doing fine. There are no really BAD primers made by the big boys today.

Bearpaw, I fiirmly believe there is no single "best" primer.  It is no different than the other components: powders and bullets in particular.  Every gun I've met has particular likes and dislikes. I have a reloading friend that says CCi primers shoot best for him, and I have another friend that uses nothing but Federal Match primers.  I really think you need to ask each gun what it likes. :twocents:
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

I have always just used CCI primers, but when primers were really tough to get, I bought some Federal 215's because they were all that I could find, still haven't loaded any of them. I have heard from a number of guys that the Federal match primers were capable of shooting tighter groups so I was thinking of trying some of them. I figured I would ask around and get some more opinions first though.
