[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2281578, member: 109862"] That’s what I use but it’s certainly not absolutely necessary: fun fact, federal developed their 215 primer in conjunction with weatherby’s development of their .378 magnum cartridge in 1953. Before this there were no “magnum” or “standard” primers. There were just primers. So cartridges like the .375 hh, .300hh, 257, 300, and 270 wby, even 416 rigby, 404 Jeffrey, and 505 Gibbs, all traditionally loaded with “non-magnum” primers and no problems from that! that being said, they didn’t have as slow burning powders then as now. And if hunting in cold weather the magnum primer “ignition insurance” is a real benefit, ESPECIALLY with big charges of ball powder. [/QUOTE]
