Thanks!

Maybe Email Winchester and give them the Lot# on your primer boxes , they'll know if that Lot of primers had problems .

With hunting rifles only the 17 Rem gets the Rem 7&1/2. With my shooting I can't tell a difference with match primers in a hunting rifle. Might be a different story if I was a benchrester. But I have seen significant differences between standard and magnum primers in more than a couple of different loads.

One of the handloader digests from years ago was titled something like accuracy by the inch where a guy documented each step in his quest for accurizing a 222 varmint model 700. Although primers were way down the list they did take a couple of tenths off the average group size. He got down to a consistent 0.2 - 0.3 groupings with a factory rifle which is impressive.
