Did you find this combo preferred a particular primer? Having es issues and looking at solutions...

That load I used fed210 primers but have since run out. Will use Remington 9 1/2.
What type of scale you using? I'm having issues with the cheap hornady scale fluctuating in hotter temps.

I've got some 210s so will give them a go, have rcbs beam scale, confident in its consistency, maybe its my eyesight...

Hi Steelisreal,
Haven't tried again just yet, my son and I had a comp last weekend and I had too much on to get load sorted by then so just shot factory ammo, that went fine. Funny thing this batch of factory ammo is 50fps slower than previous ive had, down at 2600fps. Now pressure is off and kids back to school hopefully get back on to it, I'll post back how goes. Cheers
