Your reloading manual should tell you which primers to use. I am reloading almost 6,000 .357 Magnum cartridges a year (Yeah, I know, I am getting old and slowing down!)

I do not use magnum primers for the majority of my reloads. I know it is hard to find not only ammo, but the components as well. Check your manual and see if you have another powder that does not require the magnum primer.
