I've reloaded 41 Mag for over 25 years using 296 with regular primers, I have 500 new cases primed with regular primers. I've NEVER had a problem with 20 grs of 296, Jacketed hollow and soft point 210 gr bullets. Now, I read that I should be using large pistol MAGNUM primers with this load! My question is what powder should I be using with regular large pistol primers? I want to be able to load BOTH hunting loads and reduced target loads with a more versatile powder. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
