ive used WLR for about 15yrs. tried magnums but gained pressure and lost accuracy and velocity in my 25-06

I have used Rem 9 1/2 primers when loading for my brother in-law's .300 win mag. they were what I had (as opposed to testing what worked best), but they have shot just fine. I am sure any standard primer will work...

I've always used just plain primers for loading, but did buy a box of 1000 mag. primers just for my 6.5x47 because every one was saying they work better for that cal. Will i'm back useing my BR-4 primers as they give me better groups. Then agine my oldest son use's nothing but mag. primers in every thing he loads and is happy with them. I guess you just have to fine what works best for you.

I use that powder in 300 WSM, 243 Win and 260 Rem, all with Fed 210M primers. No need for a magnum primer on "normal" sized cases...

Another thing to consider is weather conditions. While standard primers may work fine in Arizona in June, a slow burning powder like 4831 may need a little extra uumph to ignite properly if you've been carrying it around for several hours in Montana in November at -15 degrees.

I use Wolf large rifle magnum primers for all of my hunting loads.
