[QUOTE="Leaf Litter, post: 3031003, member: 124584"] I suspect (don't forget the word 'suspect' because i haven't tested the idea) that with magnum cartridges you'd see magnum primers give up less in terms or accuracy for two reasons: 1. There's more case volume to spread the pressure of the primer 'blast' when fired, and; 2. You are igniting a much slower burning powder so you don't get that fast initial wave of pressure while the bullet is jumping to the lands. Somebody smarter than I should test this. [/QUOTE]
