I've been using Win. primers in my '06; sez "For Standard or Magnum..." They work the same as the Rem. 9-1/2 primers I used for a bunch of years.

No idea what or how Winchester has made one primer work on standard or magnum. But it's a whole different bag than, say, CCI's "standard" and magnum" primers.

Later, Art
