LG Match Rifle Primer

[DaveS]

I searched on here and cannot find exactly what I'm looking for. Hopefully a "Reloading Guru" can answer my question.

Can "Large Match Rifle Primers" be used in stead of a standard LG Rifle Primer? And what would be the difference?

Same thing...they just cost more. I've been told that the priming compound put in the match primers is done by people who have worked there longer than the people who put the priming compound in the standard primers.

I didn't think there would be much difference. Match primers is all I can find here right now. I guess it's all about cheap labor huh? LOL

Yes they can be used in applications that require a large rifle primer.

Difference between the two? The match primers were not made on Hangover day: Monday, or let's get this done and get out of here day: Friday;)

Thanks for the info ....I guess it's match primer time!

Joking aside, they are supposed to be more consistent, so that each primer is the same so that each bullet you make is as close to the others as possible. Of course, that means you are using match grade bullets and a high quality powder measure and other things as well to ensure match grade ammo.... or, if its all you can find, I guess you use them like normal and pay a little more.

Some match primers are a bit hotter than the standard and you may need to back off charges of loads worked up with standard primers and work back up to account for that difference. Some match primers seem to be exactly the same as standard, others are closer to the magnum primers so be careful and don't just substitute them into an established load.
