on very heavy charges of a slow powder like 296. Since I usually load my magnums to medium velocity levels, using very light-for caliber bullets and faster powders, I use WLP or another LP and have never had a problem. I bought one case of the magnums years ago and still have a bunch sitting around collecting dust. I have never had ignition problems of lots of residue, with very few exceptions. In short, unless a load requires them, I would use the standard primers that most of us already have a ton of.
