Title: CCI #450 magnum small rifle primers
Post by: NOLA556 on April 25, 2012, 02:27:20 PM

i read on a couple other sites that these magnum primers are fine for .223 but you may want to downsize your powder charge? anyone know anything about this?

From what I have read magnum primers burn faster and light more powder faster. I can't speak to downloading your rounds on account of it.

There is alot of misinformation in the reloading realm. I don't want to add to it but I did notice that they recommend using magnum primers if you expect temps below 20... WTF??
