[QUOTE="DUSTY NOGGIN, post: 1537485, member: 89550"] WLRM primers , seem to be some of the hottest primers , i don't crimp mine, yet sometimes i wonder if a crimp would help with these primers. i wonder if the bullet release might be happening right before powder ignition, i did have a 300rum load that maxed out at grain over book start that was using WLRM primers and retumbo( but shot great !! ) id stay with the magnum primers , cause thats what it calls for , but if you tried a different brand ? , i switched to cci250 i like retumbo it works good, but i use the 8 lb bottle for the reason of variation from lot to lot . i found that when using 1 lb bottles you ended up tweaking the load every new bottle , due to it not shooting the same. since 1 bottle only equals about 75-100 rounds in the magnums its intended for , a new bottle is way too frequent . i end up using at least a 1/4 of that bottle getting it back to good . a 1 lb bottle in any slow magnum powder just doesn't make sense unless your trying a new powder or for a hunting gun that only gets shot once a year [/QUOTE]
