[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2147958, member: 101791"] Free bore would drop pressure at the start from my understaning. LRP ver MLRP is two different stories. Now I use LRP in my loads with FED-210 as my go to primer, but I am only burning about 75.5grs of powder, but my barrels are 26" mostly. Now in the RUM burning 100+grs. is something else. From what I read here, there a lot people using MLRP in everthing. I see their reasoning for it and I feel that above a certain amounts of power that would apply. I have used both and in my rifles I reduce the powder loads, which stands to reason to start with, but I never achieved the velocity or accuracies with them. I felt that the bigger kick from the Mag Primers was a little to much for those loads (Not my shoulder). My thinking is with LRP's the powder burned over a longer time and built pressure going down the barrel. Now I have been told different here, and that's alright. I have just been reading here about powder not lighting off, and it was being pointed toward primers. There loads were down in the 50grs I believe. Now over 59 years reloading I have had only a very few rounds that didn't light off that I reloaded. Anything that center fire cases I hand load, I don't purchase factory. [/QUOTE]
