[QUOTE="Swanner, post: 2065349, member: 114094"] I use WLMR, Federal 215 (my preferred) and Federal GM215M primers in my 6.5 CM LR308. They definitely seem to burn cleaner and I always use the magnum primers for ball powders since it was recommended in my old Speer reloading book as someone else has already mentioned. I had heard they are better for keeping velocity consistent when in colder environments but I am still acquiring data to see if that is actually true. I seem to get pretty good velocities even though overpressure with the magnum primers could possibly be achieved faster with the hotter primers. I have switched between federal 210 and the magnum primers with the same powder charge to see if any issues would occur and I have not ran into any, but there really is no reason to not rework up your load to find what the best load is since you changed components. I always end up doing it anyways. Basically magnum primers are good to go...or have been so far for me 😁 [/QUOTE]
