primer change and accuracy

now i have got primers, unfortunately i only have 4 left of the brand i sighted in with, shooting 2 pellets behind a 295 pb, will a primer affect accuracy out there about 150yds?
just dont feel like making the 30 minute drive in traffic, to the place that carries the brand i used.

Primers and accurcy

Recently just before going off on a bear hunt, I was trying out both Remington and Winchester Primers.

Primers DO affect the bullet. Winchester's were much more erratic and Remingtons got stuck more often till I finally lapped out my primer pocket with emery cloth.... 150 yards.... well I'd play with your other primers then for getting ready to hunt and take the 4 you have been shooting as your hunting primer.... they're easy to tell apart.. at least winchester and remington are....

Aloha...

thanks rattus, a friend who reloads just offered me a ton of shotshell primers, now i think i will just sacrifice the gas and go and pick up a pack or two of the stuff im shooting. does seem strange though that a primer affects them, wonder why
