DGR ShooterBig Bore Primer Question
With Federal 215's being scarce as hens teeth at the moment, I have been using Remington 9.5 M primers with good results in my 338 RUM and 375 H&H. My question is are these primers hot enough for larger cases, specifically the 460 Weatherby and 500 Jeffery.
Any thoughts or first hand experiences would be appreciated

fredj338I run the RPs in my 404jeffery & they shoot fine. In tests where I switched primers, there was little diff. in vel. or accuracy. I think the bigbores are more forgiving than the small bores when it comes to switching primers.
