I have set up the variflame system. It might be the small rifle primes i am using but i cannot get them to go into the supplied primer adapter. I have to use pliers to get them to go in. I bought some CCI small rifle primers but they are the precision ones. Then once i took it to the range i had alot of miss fires out of my Knight Long Range Hunter, it would simply not go off sometimes. I dont think the prmier was seeded correctly in the adapter and the firing pin never came in contact. When i did get these to shoot well i was 1 1/2 inches high at 100 yards and 14 inches low at 200 yards using 110 gr of 777 FFF with a 250 grain harverster scorpion. Just for kicks i through aWinchester 777 primer in there and fired it at 200 yards, it was only 4 1/2 inches low. here is what i have found.

Harvester 250 scorpion
110 gr 777 fffg
powerstem plug for knight

Variflame with small rifle primers
100 yards - 1 1/2 inches high
200 yards - 14 inches low

777 primers
100 yards 3 inches high
200 yards 4 1/2 inches low

Any suggestions why it was so hard to load the primers in the adapters and why i was getting contact all the time with the primer to ignite the charge?

I read alot on here but dont post very often, thanks for the help


I shoot:
