If a load manual says standard primers only are required for WW296, I would question that load manual. You should always use magnum primers with the possible exception of Winchester Large Pistol primers which are about a standard and a half or only sightly sub-magnum.

The above is for calibers that use pistol primers. However, the 454 Casull is designed to use small rifle primers which are at least equivalent to small pistol magnum primers. Are you using rifle primers?

A Mike said, a good strong crimp is also a must.
