    .408 primer and reloading question...

    Forgive my ignorance as I am just getting started on the .408 Would I use the large rifle magnum primers for this round? I just use large rifle for my other bullets (.308, .260) but I am assuming I need to step up to the magnum primers (which I have on hand).

    Big difference in accuracy based on primer brand?

    I'm new to reloading and I was wondering if there is a big difference in accuracy based on brand of primers. For example, are Winchester or Remington or Federal LR primers good for accurate loads? Thanks in advance. Joe

    I just got my rifle back from the smith. I loaded up 50 fireforming loads with Lapua brass, CCI BR4's and H-335& Benchmark. I had several rounds that required 2-3 strikes to ignite the primer. Could the J lock cause this? What else might cause it? I'm hoping it's not the primers as I have...

    Primer difference?

    I found a few small rifle Remington primers labeled 6 1/2's, but all the load data I have found using Rem primers states the use of 7 1/2's. My question is, what difference is there if any? Duke.
