That very well may be true. However the question is do they make them to W-W's standards or their own? I am not knocking W-W products. I have been a big W-W fan for years. However, fluke though it may be, my one and only experience with W-W primers was a bad one.

At this time I use whatever the stores have in stock. I normally us CCI if they have them. For my purposes I find very little difference in any brand.

Im with Catfish on this one. I have had accuracy change drastically more than once by changing primers. Good example a few weeks back: 35 Remington, 180 Gr. Speer Flat Point, 43 Gr. of RL-12. 2 to 2.5 inches was the best she would do. I loaded CCI 200's, Rem 9 1/2's, WLR's all with about the same result. Loaded 5 more with Fed 210's and shrunk it down to just over an inch. Loaded 20 more with 210's and all shot great.Got me a new Deer load
