Can one use CCI #41 military primers in standard rifles like a Weatherby Vanguard .223.I know developed load would need tweaking, but when where would I find the data to begin adjustment. I looked on Hodgdon website with no luck. I have developed loads using IMR 8208xbr with a 40 grain v-max and a load using a 60grain Nosler Partition with CFE 223. The primers for both of those loads a WSR. Thanks in advance for always do I get valued insight and wisdom.

Yes you can use them.
As to powder charge just start at low and work up. There is not much difference other than the have a harder or thicker cup.

They have a hard cup, a different shaped anvil to prevent slam fire and are magnums. They work fine.

Pro tip ... while I did buy two bricks of #41s today just because I'm about to run a couple of 1000 Mk262 clones ... Wolf Magnum Small Rifle Primers are really just as good as 41s. Thick cups, same anvil ... I ran out and am having-to go-back-to 41s but I wish I had bought 40k of the Wolf MSRPs 15 years ago when Widener's had them for $18 a brick. I bought 10k and thought I was probably being stupid at the time ... hindsight.
If they ever come back they'll still be half what the CCIs are.

Like said above, yes you can use them safely. As with all component changes work up to your normal charge weight.
Wish I had bought more as well, at $14 per 1K. Oh well.
