    The bench rest are supposed to be much more consistent in their design. Match grade primers essentially.

    I know they’re marketed as being “better” I was hoping someone had real data behind it.

    From everyone I talked to about the BR4's there no noticeable difference between then and standard CCI 400's aside from price. Cup hardness is no different. The "mix" isn't different just more consistent.

    Thanks for the replies. I might grab some and run them over a crono to see what happens.

    I'll be doing the same as well. My local supplier was out of the CCI #41's and 400's so I snagged a box of BR4. Wes said he and his Dad had tested them all with very negligible differences. Let us know what you find out. [emoji106]
