[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2290506, member: 10755"] I wasn’t bashing your statement Orkan, just stating a fact that the Pressure Trace has backed up now for years. Both magnum and standard Winchester primers in both large and small are hotter than other brands. I run cases 150+g of powder with Winchester STANDARD primers, not magnums. The powders are Retumbo, H50BMG, US869 and RE33. All this “use a magnum primer if charges are above 75g” is horse muck. I’m using double that with standard primers with no trouble. Even sub zero C° temps. The Fed215 was developed for Roy Weatherby because when he was doing low load density charge work up, he was getting hang fires and asked Federal to come up with a primer to stop this. In the end it wasn’t necessary as he found the cases he wanted to use and stopped doing low load density charge testing. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
