Most of the load data I've seen states that mag. primers are not required for 2400 loads in magnum revolvers.
But I get what seems to me like a lot of black granules on the shooting bench when I shoot my .357 mag loads with 2400.
Will switching to mag. primers (and backing off and re-working up my loads) give more complete powder burn?
Just as an aside, I've been reading up on 9x23 WIN lately and was surprised to read that guys out there who seem to be in the know are using small rifle primers in that cartridge. Has anyone heard of using rifle primers in other pistol cartridge applications?
I'm not about to experiment with anything that's not well docuemented.... and am hoping it is "safe" to at least ask the question and seek out references.
