As long as you work up to the load with the magnum primers, it's not an issue. Don't just dump a max load of powder in the case and use a magnum primer. Use the starting load but substitute the magnum primer and work your way up. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

+1 to above. I did just that during the primer shortage using Russian large pistol magnum primers in my .45 Colts and .45 ACPs. I ended up with the same loads but reduced to minimum and worked up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
