Yes its a generic question. So to be more specific I'm loading 25-06 rem with RL22 with the only variable being primer. Between CCI 200, CCI BR-2, Federal GM210 and GM215M. What I really want to see is the difference in consistency and velocity. Just an excuse to go to the range and tinker. On that note, any thoughts on using the mag primers in a non mag cartridge? Testing it this weekend anyways but curious what others results have been.
