A generalization is inaccurate advise.

Sometimes you see a change and sometimes you don't.

I have a 7x57 that hates CC! 200's and a .30/06 that loves them. You can't guess, you have to try them and see how the results average out.
Both like Federal 210's but I only knew that after checking.


I have had a handful of rifles that could/did tell the difference, but only in ignition ( vertical stacking), never in velocity. Now, "magnum" primers, yeah, sometimes in ignition but always in velocity. As said...you have to try them. For me and Match primers....I use them because its just one more variable out of the way...
