[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1979695, member: 26077"] We hunt in weather for +80 to -45. ALL of our hunting loads are developed from the start using Magnum rifle primers, CCI 250 from 40 to 70 grains, and Winchester mag or Fed 215 above that. Anyhing that uses 90 grains or more gets Fed 215 for sure. We work on powder, primer bullet to get low SDs, without having to go to standard LR primers. We have seen click booms or failure to ignite, with burned clumped powder in the unfired case, on 7 RUM, 378 Bee, 460 Bee etc using more than one batch of CCI 250 primers. They are not hot enough for the big powder loads shooting slow burning powder, even at +40F. For many shooters this may not be a consideration, especially the temperature extremes, but up here, reliability is key and I would actually trade to a 1/4" bigger group to ensure it goes boom reliably.
