I'd like to switch over to using only lg. rifle magnum primers. I know this has been covered in the past, but I just want a second opinion regarding all of the cartridges that I plan to use these for. I am currently (or planning to start) loading for:
.375H&H (which begs for magnums)
.300WM (which I only use match grade primers in so I could use either mag. or standard just as easily, using magnum now)
.45-70Govt. (currently using standard but would like to switch)
.45-120NE (in the near future; my own flavor of DG cartridge: a smokeless .45-120Sharps)
.30-06Springfield (using standard but want to switch)
.308Win. (in the near future)
and I might start loading 7.62x39mm (doubtful that I will load for but I'd like some input anyway).
I am also considering using magnums in sm. rifle primers, and this should be fine for the .223Rem. (using Varget), but I think the .30Carbine (standard H-110 load) may be a problem.
Note: I fully realize that I must lower the charge weight by a grain or so, and fully intend to work up loads again for the new primers.
What say ye sultans of the saltpeter?
