    Primers

    Been exclusively using wlr primers in my 303 with excellent results. Went shopping for more today but every shop I went to today had none and told me there's a shipment coming closer to the end of the year then that's it, no more because Winchester are no longer making reloading components, all components will be for factory ammo. There's still a lot of wlrm primers out there though. So I'm now looking for the closest match to wlr's by other manufactures. CCI, Federal, Remington etc. IF anyone knows that'll be a great help. Don't really want to be wasting a crap load of money testing out every type of primer. I won't touch federal 210 standard primers, my rifle hates them. wlr gives me a 1.5 inch group at 100m, fed 210's give me a 5 inch group. Those russian murom's are quite good but haven't seen any for a few years. Also, does anyone know which modern day primer closely match the primers used in the old hxp ammo? Thanks
