Like most people, I'm having difficulty finding primers.
I use a low powered load in an original 1889 vintage Winchester '73, 5g. of Trail Boss pushing a 180g lead bullet. The loading tables show a min. load of 4.5g, max. load 5.5g, with pressure at 9,900CUP, well under the 14,000 limit.
Question is, would it be safe to use a magnum large pistol primer rather then a standard primer with a 5g powder load?
Thanks
