Primer showdown: WOLF vs. CCI #41

[MarshallDodge]

Looking forward to the results!

I had the opportunity to shoot over a labradar last year on a cool morning. Load was 23.2 8208- trickled and weighed, Lapua once fired brass, 77 TMK, and Federal 205 primers. Brass was sized with a Mighty Armory mandrel sizing die. Rifle was a trued up Rem 700 with an 18" Bartlein.

Two shots to warm up the barrel and then five for the record. 2720 FPS with an SD of 9.

That's exactly what I had in mind. I want to weight the charges on the A&D scale, but it's a pain to reconfig the set up from the 40ish grains it's set up to run now.

I'll, at a minimum, use the chargemaster for this comparison.

I very rarely anneal 556 brass. But after FL sizing, I can feel a smoother pull on the press with the neck expander die. Not sure if it's the annealing or the Lapua brass. Just a smoother even pull.
