Magnum primers with compressed loads

[Visionz45]

Ive shot quite a bit of RL-22 over the last years out of my .30-06. When I intially worked up the load I didn't own a chronograph, the orginal load was 180 Accubond pushed by 62.0grs of RL22, winchester case and FED 210 primers. Out of my 25 1/4" barrel velocities run from 2855 to 2900. Recently work has cut my hours and Ive been dinking around with loads. Ive considered re-working this load with Rem 9 1/2M's(mildest mag primers as I currently know of) and would like to here opinions as to the effect of magnum primers and compressed loads. This is food for thought and I dont have to change.

Visionz45,

Chances are you would be ok with the Winchester brass, but why take chances? Cut your load back a full grain and work back up.

You were amongst the folks that got me spun on this stuff a while back. I'm just looking to lower my ES and better groups, which, I guess are pretty good(groups). Most importantly in looking to burn free time.
