[QUOTE="stormgale89, post: 1451812, member: 579703"] these paragraphs will answer the magnum part: "Primers: There are only 4 types of primers. Small pistol, large pistol, small rifle, large rifle. There also exists Magnum primers, but their use is often misunderstood. Only use magnum primers if the load table calls for it OR if you are using a powder that may be difficult to ignite reliably (some rifle powders.) When you use a magnum primer you have to keep in mind that you will need to drop your loads significantly and work your way back up because magnum primers effect the pressures within the cartridge. All of the extensive work that goes into loading tables is null and void when you substitute a magnum primer where the tables did not specify it. Granted the change is not huge, but if your load is already top of the chart, blowing up your gun is a very real possibility" http://www.geocities.com/gunversation/reloading101/reloading101.htm [/QUOTE]
