Primer frustration--- need some advice. I still don't think it's the primer

[LongRange]

Looks like taking your advice worked out LR.

for once....I guess everyone has a lucky call every now and then LOL!!

That's a fact. reloading is so subjective.
What works for one may not work for the other.
Find what you like and works for you and keep at it.
For me?....an open mind is a brite mind.
Gotta watch it though.......one day you may give in and buy a 30" barrel just to have to cut it down to make it shoot, then have your friends say.... "see, I told you so".......bahahaha............. Hey Dave...sound familiar?........
Kinda reminds me of my mother yelling ......... Don't touch that because its hot!........what do I do?...............touch the dam thing and burn the living crap out of my fingers all because I just had to find out for myself lolololo

theres no better way to learn than to experience things for yourself IMHO...as far as that 30" barrel goes....I did have it cut down and it still would not shoot....almost 3000 views and no one wondered why that barrel wouldn't shoot so I just let it die, but I will tell you it had nothing to do with the length or the shooter ...
