[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 193879, member: 10"] My rule of thumb is not all that clear cut either but her goes. When to use magnum primers: -When the case capacity is over 85 grains of stick powder -When the rifle will be used in temps below zero and especially below zero -When using more then 70 grains of ball powder(except Ramshot powders) Other possible times to try a magnum primer: -When velocity spreads are high and can not be decreased by bullet seating depth adjustment Other then that I generally use standard rifle primers.
