[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2344485, member: 26077"] CCI mag primers are very mild. I develop all hunting loads that use less than 70 grains of powder with them. Anything over 70 grains gets a Fed 215. Depending on how close to max load you are would dictate to me whether I backed the load off or not. As long as I was showing no pressure signs and was at least a couple of grains off published max, I would just swap them. I have NEVER seen a primer change result in dangerous pressure, but changing primers definitely will affect pressure most of the time. I never load hunting rounds to the ragged edge. Maximum safety says back off 10% and work back up, I tired it the other way just to see. [/QUOTE]
