To make a long story short, I have acquired a couple of bricks of small rifle MAGNUM primers. I have no requirement for them.
Has anyone worked up any loads with small rifle magnum primers that only require small rifle primers? Specifically, the only use I have for any small rifle primers is for 5.56mm rounds. That's the only small rifle I load for.
I figured I'd back off my loads a bit and experiment with these magnum primers. I don't see that they should be a problem if I work up to my loads in an AR. In fact, since my loads are middle-of-the-road anyway, I'd guess that I wouldn't have any problem at all, even with my present loads. (these are AR-specific loads, out of the AR section of a Sierra manual, not .223 loads)
Any experience out there?
Thanks a lot.
