[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1979738, member: 26077"] Unless you are shooting loads that are at or close to book max I will differ from the norm and say no. To be completely safe you should back off to the mid point and work back up but in all the times I have switched from one primer to another I have never seen it make any noticeable difference in pressure., certainly not enough to go from safe to popping primers, enlarging primer pockets let alone lock up a bolt. I have seen far bigger differences from switching lots of powder than I have ever seen switching primers. That said, I never hunt with loads that aren't at least a full grain below max published velocity. Would nver want to lock up a gun due to heat or other nonsense shooting ragged edge hot loads.
