[QUOTE="diriel, post: 626405, member: 26983"] A slow, or ball, powder will sometimes benefit from a HOT or Magnum primer because these powders are a bit harder to ignite. This becomes especially true when you get above about 80gr. of case capacity. A medium or fast powder in a Large Rifle type brass will almost always do perfectly fine with a Standard LR Non-Hot type primer. Though some days you will occasionally run into a reloading situation where a Magnum or Hot primer will show you benefits, but this is usually the exception to the rule. For a .223 / 5.56 you really want to use CCI Mag SR, or Remington 7 1/2 are most generally THE primers...
