Different primers, same load -results?

[bowbender6]

I was trying to zero the gun for next season before it gets warm. I thought I would try Win primers because I use them for Blackhorn 209. I was surprise to see the group open up. I also tried CCI209M. This group might have been effected by the wind. The groups were al shot on the same day. The Win had the lowest extreme spread but the worst group. This is only one day’s test and nine shots but I think I had this happen before but didn’t notice. Might have to try to duplicate this again sometime. I guess I have been lucky that I started with Fed209.
