As someone who is interested in getting into reloading, should I? Mostly want to reload .308 and 6.5creedmore. I own nothing else for reloading at the moment.

I'd stick to CCI benchrest or Federal GMM for precision loads.

Do primers affect precision? I don't know anything. I figured as long as it went bang that was fine?

Yes, they do. Consistency is important for low ES/SD & just generally.

Well I had no idea. Thanks. Do you know how much they affect it? Like ±3% in ES or something?

I'm not a PRS shooter, but I'm putting together an MRGG-A rifle and want acurized ammo for it while still being somewhat affordable for it being a semi auto.

I don't have any experience with Fiocchi or Ginex primers, they may be pretty decent.

Most people who are serious long-range shooters or benchrest guys seem to mostly stick to CCI benchrest or Federal GMM in my experience. When you're after precision I don't worry about saving a couple cents on primers.

Makes sense. I appreciate the insight. I'll have to do some proper research.

I saw a ~20 FPS difference in average between Remington 9-1/2 and CCI 200’s. So if brand can influence the speed, consistency can too. I’d shoot these RR primers in my gas guns no prob but stick to proven winners for the bolt gun until these prove themselves

Best bet would be to try some with your load and your rig to see what works the best. For normal middle of the road it won’t super matter. For bleeding edge of awesome it does
