I've spent some quality feet up reading time with my newest reloading manuals today and am catching some interesting points, actually, they're probably similar to what I read in the Hornady manual a while back but I know a little more about what the heck they are talking about now. One thing I found interesting is that the Lyman manual strongly recommends to follow the load date exactly in every aspect, an example being primers. When they say for a particular load use a Remington 2 1/2 primer, they don't mean substitute with CCI 300 primer.
I would think the name brand primers are built to certain standards and that a CCI 300 would be just as good as a Winchester WLP or are they? Do any of you go to those lengths or do any of you use certain brands because of reliability or other factors regardless of what the tables say? So far I buy the ones that are the lowest price.
