[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2888090, member: 10755"] I test primers just like I test seating depth, outside of a node. I test different brands AND types, then when I find THE one, I test primer depth and amount of crush from .001” below flush with anvil through .001” intervals to about .008” total. With this known, you can almost certainly seat your primers the same depth in different loads and be very, very close to ideal without much tweaking. Often, brand makes as much difference as does type. Magnum primers don’t have to be used in magnums and standard primers in magnums are just as often more precise than magnums. Magnum primers often work best in SRP brass too, they do in my 22-250, 22-250AI and both of my 6.5x47’s. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
