[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 874916, member: 51650"] Canadian Bushman I forgot to mention in my last post that I have found Winchester standard LR primers seem to be hotter than the other Brands. If you start with the Winchester you can switch to the others without a problem if the load isn't on the edge. If you develop a load for the other brands back off maybe 0.2gr if you go to the WW standard LR. I prefer Federals for most of my loads but that is in rifles. CCI's are my favorite in pistols for no particular reason. CCI #550 are better SPM than the others but that's my experience. Primers are like car brands, some like Chevys, some like Fords. I buy them all because I'm not getting caught short again. When the last drought hit I found my Small Pistol supply was less than I thought (< 2K). I like to keep a wide selection in the Large Rifle size because in rifle loads brand seem to make a difference for some loads and switching types (regular vs. magnum) helps when the powder charge is 60grs or more and ball powder seems to need the hotter spark plugs too. Just keep shooting and you will find trends in your efforts too. Just remember to keep good records. I didn't at first (41 yrs ago) and some of my best loads are lost to me now. Maybe if I check in the pyramid in the back yard....... [/QUOTE]
