[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 715287, member: 2693"] To the OP, I always like to see what safe max of powder is in all of my rifles, so keep stuffing. When you find out what the rifle will take, back off maybe a grain, grain and a half, then start monkeying with seating depth. That's my preferred method, though, it doesn't always work. As to primers, I've heard and read where some guys get great results by using regular primers in magnum cases due to a "slow start" and an "even burn up the column." I've also heard that once you have a case that has 60 grains of powder, it's time to try a mag primer. I've used magnum primers in smaller cases like a 270 and have had great results. I've never entertained using a standard primer in a mag case. I have no plans to do so. [/QUOTE]
