JD MillerPistol primers CCI 300 std vs WWpistol
44mag Max load
20 gr 2400/ 250gr cast swc/ CCI 300
If ya switch to the WW (std/mag) primers from cci 300 std primers should ya reduce the powder charge to be equal the pressure with the cci load
All things being equal cept the primer, Bout how much grains ya think you'd reduce the powder charge ? .5 sound right?

Reloader270I would rather start 1gr below and increase in increments of .3gr. Look for pressure signs. Standard primers in one brand could be hotter in another. Rather play it safe!
