WSM primers

Wade--all my sources also specify the use of large rifle MAGNUM primers, with jacketed bullets, with the .300WSM. My Lyman's 48th edition specifies non-magnum primers when using lead bullets and the appropriate powders.

It's helpful to have more than one reloading manual, for just this sort of cross-checking.

Do NOT use any reloading recipie you find on the 'Net, unless it agrees with yr published sources. Any anonymous yahoo, me for example, can tell you any irresponsible thing they want on the 'Net.

A loading manual publisher has to have tested the loads the reccommend, and I guarantee you they have lab-coated PhD's who know more than you--or I--do about overpressure, checking their reccommendations.

On second thought, I'm comfortable with using data from manufacturers' websites--But there again, the data has to have been OK'd by their PhD's. It's not anonymous.
