[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 954394, member: 65338"] A good rule of thumb is that if you are using over 60gr of powder, or will be hunting in weather below freezing, or both, use a Magnum primer. Being that I live in Montana, I use Magnum primers in all my hunting rifles. Federal GM215M to be exact. Even with Magnum primers, I still have had one misfire, but thankfully it was when I was trying to finish off a Mule deer buck that was not dying as fast as I thought to be humane. Gun went "click". I counted to TEN-ONE THOUSAND while keeping the barrel in a safe direction, ejected the round, verified primer was properly struck (it was), then I threw the round as far as I possibly could down the mountain while taking cover behind a tree. Loaded another round and finished the buck off. [/QUOTE]
