I do believe that is a misprint and the asterisk should be there. Look at the 3031 load for the other 500 grainer. You'll note in the general info section that they list the only primer as CCI 250. The Win magnum primers won't cause OP with the min. load and, as usual, you should work up to the maximum. I seriously doubt that you'll see any OP signs even at the max. As a rule of thumb, if the rifle caliber contains the word "magnum" you can safely use a magnum primer. But the best guide as always are the manuals.
