I'm about 2 years into reloading and am finally starting to eat thru some of my initial stock. So while I had a bunch of primers and brass, I'm not looking for more primers (which are hard to find the same brand etc that I've been using) and my brass is becoming a mix of shelf bought ammo and reloaded brass.
I have my loads that are shooting well and I'm happy with them, but if for example I am out of CCI Large Mag primers and switch to federals, will I legitimately have to rebuild my load because it won't shoot as accurately? I'm talking about hunting purposes here. 0-500 yards.
Also, same question for mixed brass.
Or is seating depth, powder charge, and some of those things a bigger contributor to speed and accuracy?
Probably a total noob question, but I need to know if I should be selective and buy the exact same primers i've always shot, or take what I can more readily get.
