I went to buy powder for loading my 454 Casull today and ended up in a conversation with a very enthusiastic young fellow about reloading the 454. He recommended using H110 with 300 grain XTP's but claimed to have initially had ignition problems with the small rifle primers and this combination. He claimed to have gotten some older 454 brass that was formed for large pistol primers.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems loading 454 Casull the H110 and small rifle primers? Where would you find 454 brass formed for large pistol primers? Didn't they change to small rifle primers because the pressure was too high for the pistol primers? Could it be that he created his own problems by dropping too low on the H110 powder charge?? (Hodgedon warns not to drop below 3% of max with that powder.) I am thinking out loud hoping someone has some experience and can answer my questions.
