[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 212550, member: 2693"] Anything is possible. Retumbo is a slow powder. There are many "experts" that have written about the 270s, 280s, 25-06s, etc. and have opined that these small necked calibers with a 30.06 parent case all do well with magnum primers, especially if using slower burning powders. Years ago when I went to Kansas for a deer hunt, I took a 270 with a generous dose of H1000 and 140 btips. These loads were ignited with WLRM primers and for a factory Ruger rifle, I was satisfied with my consistent 3/4" groups at 100 yards. Velocity was 2977, barrel was factory 22" long. So, it is not a bad idea to use magnum primers with slow powders, just don't take a max loaded case that has used a standard primer and switch to the magnum. It may be safe, it may not be. [/QUOTE]
