[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1476068, member: 12995"] I recommend starting a new load workup if you try different primers. Just swapping one for anther is not a safe idea, and I highly DON'T recommend doing that. Different primes, even ones of equal rating, are not always going to ignite the same. And if one is hotter than the old one you were using, it can cause pressure spikes and cause a catastrophic failure, and hurt your gun, or even you or someone else around you. So, like I said, swapping primers around, I recommend doing a whole new load workup, or at least start about 1/2 to 1 grain lower powder charge than your old load, and work up from there. [/QUOTE]
