Need some advice guys. My speer manual recommends that when using BLC(2) powder under a 55g bullet .223 caliber, that I use a Mag primer. Hogdon on the container of powder states the same charge, 25.5g but with a small rifle primer. It does not recommend a mag primer.
So, what's the difference? If I use a non mag primer, as Hogdon recommends, will it perform any differently than with a mag primer? Also, if Hogdon says non mag at 25.5g, then wouldn't the speer manual create excessive pressures by using a mag primer? All will be fired in a Savage bolt action.
Thanks....
