Today I went to Bass Pro and picked up the thousand large rifle primers I had ordered. I figured I was all ready to start making rifle ammo for the first time. I want to make some accurate stuff. I bought 140-grain Nosler Accubond bullets. I thought maybe I could produce hunting cartridges that were also pretty good for target shooting.
I was pretty pleased with myself until I went to the Starline site. I had been planning to use old Sellier & Bellot cases, but I thought I should check out Starline just to see what they had. This is when I learned about small-primer 6.5mm. The site says:
What?! Did I buy the wrong primers? Did the whole 6.5 Creedmoor picture change while I was waiting for my large primers to arrive?
I wonder what the small primer market is like right now. Let's check Ammoseek. Yeah, basically I can learn how to make small rifle primers myself or do without until the riots are over.

Many target shooters prefer the Small Primer for the increased consistency and accuracy. While other small pocket manufacturers use a smaller than standard flash hole, Starline uses our standard .080" flash hole, as we feel that it gives better ignition with some of the slower powders and in cooler conditions* (and you won't be breaking off decapping pins either!)
