primer suggestion for accurate 3100 in a 300 win mag

[rsmithsr]

i have an 8 lb'r of 3100 and think one of my 300 win mags could use it.
having never used it, what would you suggest as a primer ?
just lr, lr match, cci match, lrmag match ?
i have used lr in a lot of 300 wm loads, but have used 215 and 215match.

220 smk/ 26" bbl

thanks

I always use 215 or 215m primers in my 300 win mag rifles.

i have done lr, lr mag and lr mag match with 4831 in a 1000 br rifle with 210 bullets
i have not used the 3100 so looking for someone the might have used it.
i found load data that showed just lr with 168/190's

I always use 215 or 215m primers in my 300 win mag rifles.

Ambient temperature may be the deciding factor.

i do not like shooting in the cold...
50-90
normal 65-75
