magnum primers in .223

[shenck]

I am loading .223 using 748 powder, one book list magnum primers another doesn't. What do you guys think are magnum primers necessary?

I use magnum primers with all ball powder in 223. W748 should make some good loads.

That's also my philosophy, magnum primers with ball powders. Unless you're using some Winchester primers.
I use CCI in all my brass.
Win 209's in my shotshells.

thanks

I have worked up all my loads that take large rifle primers using magnum primers that way all I ever buy is magnum primers. This is the only one I have that takes small rifle primers, and this is my first reloading for it.

military primers

By the way does anyone know what primers the military uses?

It's CCI # 41 MILSPEC primer for small rifle.
