| The only thing magnum primers are going to do is make the mfg more money. They are like adding a pint of "Motor Honey" to your oil and thinking you're going to have a new engine.  This opinion is based of 45 years of reloading without them. NEVER a primer related issue. |

| About the only way to tell which load & primer combination your rifle likes is to load some up and try them. For example, in my .270 using 150 grain bullets, the 52.4 gr of H4350 with a Rem 9 1/2 groups at just under 2", but switching to Rem 9 1/2M primers shrinks the group to barely over an inch. For reasons that I don't understand, the load with the magnum primer chronys an average of 24 fps slower than the one with standard primers. There is no way to tell without actually testing the loads. |
