Starting to reload for my .308. Using 168gr Sierra Match BTHP with IMR 4064 powder to start off. Question is, how much difference will I notice from Match primers vs. standard? Example Federal LG Rifle Standard vs Federal LG Rifle Match.

I've not been able to see any difference in groups size at all between match and standard.
That being said, if you can get a good deal on match primers and they give you some added confidence, go for it. Last time I bought LR primers, a local store was selling CCI match for $60 per 1000. The CCI standard LR were only $40. For me, this made the choice very easy.
I've tried testing different primers, and I've never been able to shoot the difference. This has been CCI200 vs CCI BR2 vs Fed 210 vs Fed 210M vs Tula.
I have, however, seen a difference between magnum and non magnum.
Nice pics
