[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 643032, member: 41442"] I have seen hang fires with ball in big cases using std primers. i fire lapped 4 guns last summer. A 2506 a 257 wby and two 7mags. I used starting loads with 414 in all of them because i had a bunch of 414 and used std primers because i had a pile of ww old silver primers. Just about every shot with all three guns were hangfires. Now granted if i would have stepped up the pressure it might have gone away but if there hang firing with starting loads im about sure there not ideal with even full power loads. As to what to use for your load your going to have to about try both. Just varying the powder charge a grain either way can change what primer works best with about any powder. Ive got loads for the 300 wby that work best with standard primers and loads with the 6mm rem that do better with mag primers so theres no real way of making that determination short of going to the range and finding out.
