I bought 3000 fed match primers to see what all the fuss was about them...they are the most used large rifle primer there is and everyone raves about them....so far I'm not real impressed and I think they are so widely used because the CCI BR-2s are $50+ per 1k compared to $35per 1k...I normal use CCI BR-2s or the 200s...ive got 30 rounds loaded for one last test with the feds then I go to the BR-2s...I loaded 6 rounds with my match load for my shilen barrel to try...45.8gs H4831sc-BR-2-142gsmk-.030 off the lands...if this load shoots a 1/2" group ill ditch the bergers and the fed210s and go to what I know will work...good thing is the 210s will be real easy to get rid of.

on a side note...I cleaned the barrel...after 70 rounds there was no copper and only lite soot/carbon so I may have to go shoot a few 20 shot groups to get a little copper in the barrel...now if it will stop raining...I was planning on going out a couple of times today but I'm not sure that's going to happen now.
