std vs. mag primer question

jimaw2 · March 19, 2010, 11:38 PM

I picked up a box of mag primers by accident and probably can't return them. My usual plinking load is 8 or 9 gr of Unique with a 240 hardcast bullet out of a 629. Any potential problem using those mag primers? Thanks

Cartridge?

My preferred primer for my 44 / 240g load (using 7.3g Universal for 873fps from my 5.5" Redhawk) is the CCI350.

I most highly recommmend avoiding maximum loads without working up first, but the use of those magnum primers should cause no undue stresses.
