RE: Does primer and brass matter?
It does matter! in that the thickness of the brass is different which gives a different internal capacity these small changes can effect the pressure generated and the velocity of the bullet. the primers do the same thing. reloading is an art of consistancy, so if you mix brass, primers, or other components you will not have good groups and could result in a dangerous load if you don't work up from a starting load when trying a different component.
