[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 193908, member: 10755"] Steven CO, I use magnum primers in ALL ball powder loads, regardless of case size.I don't specifically look at case size as the pre-determinate either.If it is a case like the 25-06 Rem, I look at it's expansion ratio to determine whether or not to use a magnum primer or not.In this instance I use magnum primers for ALL powder types.The reason is because you need slow powders with this cartridge for it to perform correctly. In my other 06 based cases I use standard primers because the expansion ratio is lower,therefore more efficient. In magnum cases of any size I use magnum primers regardless, because when you are using very slow powders,under ignition is always high on the possibilities of something going awry. You can check this with a chronograph very easily. If you get big differences in velocity with a standard primer, then it's a good bet the powder in some cases is under igniting. Hope this helps.
