I've noted in the Speer reloading manual they specify a Magnum (CCI of course) Large Pistol Primer for use with H110 in the .44 Magnum. In the latest Hornady manual, they are using a Winchester WLP Primer in similar loads... I've been loading using Magtech 2 1/2 primers (from what I've seen, functionally equivalent to the Remington 2 1/2 primer) ... just wondering if I'm getting all power I should be getting with the "non magnum" primer. I've had no Misfires, etc... but I have noticed that firing full house handloads (pushing max) loads do not recoil as much as Winchester factory hunting ammo (same grain bullet) does. I don't have a Chrony, (checking velocities would help solve the mystery to be sure) ... could it be the burn rate, etc. with the H110 powder just results in lighter recoil than the Winchester factory Ammo? Is anyone using 2 1/2 (Remington or Magtech) primers in their .44 Mag full house loads?
Thanks for the info guys...
