[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1889602, member: 113391"] Years back, I shared a reloading space with my Father-in-law. He always believed it was the “shock” of the bullet/load that killed an animal. So he always picked the hottest load in the manual for his caliber and weight of bullet. I was working up a load from a different manual then he was using. I had a stock of Winchester WLR primers for use with that load. My Father-in-law was using CCI 200 primers. He ran out of primers. So without my knowledge, he borrowed some of my Winchester WLR primers. Next thing I know, I hear from my wife through her mother that my Father-in-law took his rifle to the gunsmith for some reason. Turns out, he locked up the bolt in his Rem 700, 270 win. I don't remember the load, it was the hottest as was his usual choice. Like above, he substituted my Winchester WLR primers for his CCI 200. The WLR is the hottest non-magnum primer. Using it instead of the CCI 200 caused unsafe higher pressures and locked up his bolt. Here is a chart I found showing primers in order of the coolest to hottest : [I]Just be careful with the Magnum primers ! Some think the Fed 215 is hottest, others believe the Winchester WLRM is the hottest. Winchester does have a habit of producing the hottest primers.
