I'm looking to try some full house 44 Magnum loads in a Blackhack that I just acquired. I plan to use either H110 or Win 296, as I have some on hand already. These 2 powders are very hard to light, and benefit from a hot, magnum primer and a full house load.
The load manuals I have use a variety of primers, some magnum, some not. Given my experience with H110 being hard to ignite (I had a squib with .357 mag using standard primers), I'd like the hottest primer I can get, if possible. Anyone know which brand runs hottest?
Many of the load recipes in the manuals call for the Winchester WLP primer. I've heard that Winchester's WSPM is the hottest primer in that size. Winchester claims that the WLP are suitable for standard AND magnum loads. How can this be? Are they really suitable for reliably setting of H110 yet still capable of safely igniting 2400 (one of my manuals SPECIFICALLY said not to use magnum primers with 2400 b/c pressure increases dramatically). How hot are they compared to other LP magnum primers?
