rebs,

Not dangerous at all. The magnum primer is safer as it is less likely to experience a slam fire, and often a better way to initiate ball powders. I'm using the KVB-556M (the M stands for "magnum" and the box says Small Rifle Magnum on it) and have no complaints as to how it lights off 2000-MR powder.

If the 450's weren't so bloody expensive compared to the Wolf I would have absolutely no qualms about using them.

As long as you do a normal load workup with a powder in appropriate burn range for the bullet you are using everything is just fine.
