Hello not long ago I bought a remington 700 in 30-06. Put some factory ammo through it everything was peachy. Worked up a load for it then switched to a magnum primer.

After switching to the magnum primer I have noticed the report seems to be louder but muzzle blast seems to be less also it recoils more like my 300 win mag. Just wondering if a mag primer could cause these changes? By the way it shoots lights out.

165 grain hornady SST 57.5 grains of h4350 and a CCI 250 magnum primer
