[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 3045660, member: 123382"] I agree—very surprising with large (90+ grains of power) that regular large rifle primers would be used. I guess I’ve been living on the moon the last 31 years I have been reloading. I’ve always followed the loading book’s recommendations for primers on large amounts of powder (large rifle magnum primers). But, if you can prove it on paper and a chronograph, it’s hard to argue that. I have (2) 6.5 PRC’s (SAKO & a Benelli) that I dearly love. All of the loading manuals have said use regular large rifle primers; however, Vihtavouri’s load data uses a large rifle magnum primer—which I thought was interesting. Currently I am using Federal 210 large rifle match primers for all my 6.5 PRC loads and all has been well. But, I will say that the 6.5 PRC has the powder capacity that is kind of on the fence where you start to approach load charges where conventionally large rifle magnum primers are used. I’ve never tried large rifle magnum primers in my 6.5 PRC’s and I doubt I will based on current results I am getting. However, Vihtavouri thinks it’s a good idea. Interesting conversations here.
