CCI BR2 Primer question

[Shooterken]

I'm fairly new to loading precision LR ammo. I just purchased a Rem260 here off the hide that came with load data. The load calls for CCI BR2 primers. I was just curious how much of a difference using a standard large rifle primer would cause.

Not much, if at all.

Go with cci200 primers and you will be good to go.

I'm having a hard time finding the BR2 primers locally and it started me thinking if there was a difference I just wasn't sure.

I noticed no change in group size when trying both 200s and BR2s

Thats good to know, I'll give the 200's a try and see what happens.

I use BR2 for my 308win and 6.5 Creedmoor, as I was able to get a good price in bulk. The BR2 are more consistent, but you probably won't notice a significant difference unless you are shooting pass 300 yards.
