- Primers I have used cci 500 primers exclusively for my 9mm reloads, about 15,000 of them and have been generally happy with them, until today. During a range visit, I brought 200 rounds, and during the last 50, had 6 click, no bang. All appeared to be light strikes. I was running my p365.
Not possible to judge proper seating depth visually! Use the back end of your caliper to measure a bunch of your primer pocket depths. Write down the deepest pocket depth. Measure the height of your primers including the protruding anvil. Write down the shortest measurement then subtract.002.

OK, I have a light varmint rifle in 6PPC. I have 50 fireformed brass that have been annealed after forming.
I have VARGET, H322, H4895, CFE223....also CCI 400 and CCI 450 primers....also Barts 68gr, Berger 68gr, Berger 64gr bullets.
Any tips where to start component=wise? I’m thinking get close to a load with the Barts, CCI450 and CFE223. Then try substituting powder. I’m thinking powder charge needs to be my first variable, then seating depth, then neck tension, then powder, then try other bullets.
That said, are one of the other powders a better starting point? Are CCI 400’s a better starting point?
