[QUOTE="Jared2700, post: 1576586, member: 102752"] One thing to note is magnum primers have a thicker cup, and a larger charge. But don't have anymore power than a few more grains of power when used for loading. That has been what I have personally seen when using them for loading in the past. I have used magnum pistol as well in the past with good results in a 223 rem. As they have the same amount of charge And a thicker cup like the small rifle primer. And I also have used magnum larger primers in calibers in 308, 3006 and 270 with good results especially when using slower burning powders like 4831, reloaded 22, ECT. I also remember using them because I had read about it in my Lyman reloading manual. I believe if I'm not mistaken it said to reduce the load by 2% as well. I just remembered using 3 to 5 grains less in my larger rifles. And it seems that the magnum pistol were the same as rifle when compared over my chronograph. Never had I seen a pressure sign when reducing the load 3 to 5 grains in my large rifle cartridges. Use common sense and start with a minimum load minus the 2% and work your way up. That way you will be safer and you will see the pressure signs way before you blow up your gun or can't open your bolt. I say if you are not a component reloaded to never deviate from the manuel. Unless it is a emergency situation and you and your family lives depend on it. But I have over 35 years of reloading experience, and have experimented with tons of different loads, and configurations there of. The best practice is doing it right by the book.
