[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2783208, member: 10755"] Thing is, you haven’t tested this yourself, so you are just going by what you have heard. That’s fine and dandy, but don’t get on a forum and recommend not to do it because you haven’t. I have tested standard primers touching off 150gr of RETUMBO without a single issue in weather that was -5° C. Standard WLR primers are hotter than Remington magnum primers, so unless you test, you have no ides other than what you read in a loading manual. Federal were the first with magnum primers and every gun rag writer out there copied their SUGGESTION of using magnum primers with loads above 60gr…it became a standard thing in ALL loading manuals. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
