[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2901145, member: 100742"] In an attempt to save my last few Federal 215 primers for my Mag Hunting loads I have been using my Win LR Magnum primers , with a reduced load to sight in my newly scoped 300 Weatherby Mag. I expected the worst , but have been pleasantly surprised. Using a light load of 74.0 Grns of H 4831SC and 178 Grn Horn A Max, for a slow , easy target load of 2850 fps . As I use three shot groups for Hunting load testing , I made 3 holes touch at the 50 yard and 100-yard range. I was pleasantly surprised. Next week, 200 and 300 yards, with 74.3 grns , then 200 and 300 yards using 74.6 grns which should develop 2900 fps. I think the Win LR Mag Primers are sufficiently hot enough to properly ignite that amount of powder. Any primer suggestions will be well received. [/QUOTE]
