    So I have been using up a stockpile of S&B large rifle primers over the years. I am in a position where I need some more and apparently S&B has not imported these for years. Does anyone know what the closest match quality primer to the SB would be?
    I have a load that will shoot into 1/6 MOA if I do my part and I would like to have to tweak it the minimal ammount possible.
    Thanks.

    I am shooting a 308 if that makes a difference.

    Also, Midway has free shipping on Hazmat orders over 150. Code: NOHAZ19
     
    Honestly, if you were getting those primers to work that well for you, I don’t see why any of the quality domestics wouldn’t work just as well. Personally, for my match loads, I shoot Remington 7 ½ and wolf

    Federal 210M and CCI BR 2 are what you are looking for. I will tell you I have run Federal 210, 210M and CCI #34 with rhe same powder load and for the lots I have The regular Federal 210 was probably the most accurate by a slim margin. The POI at 100 yds stayed the same with all three.
     
    Ok. Thanks. I will bite the bullet on the FGMM primers. The nice thing about the S&B primers was that they were about 2 cents per. The SD on those were stupid low. I am sure that the 210s will be just as good but they are 4 cents per.
