    The small primer pocket brass was mostly used to convert to different calibers, such as 6mmBR. Some was used by competitive shooters. There is no advantage in small primer pockets in real world shooting. Stick with the large rifle primers.

    That's what I was thinking, but you never know one little thing can make a good group amazing.

    Sticking with quality brass is going to be the most helpful thing.
