[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 2345308, member: 53978"] The advice above to use milder magnum primers with smaller powder charges and to go big with big charges is a good general principle. For me, my light magnum primers are the Remington 9.5Magnums. I was able to pick up 500 hundred last year. I use them for 308 Win and 270 Win. For large charges I use either Fed215(Match if available) or WinchesterLargeRifleMagnum. These have worked well in 416Rigby and 500 Accurate Reloading (a 2.65" case with Rigby case head). The 416 and 500 use charges a little over 100grains. For in-between like 338WM and 375Ruger, with charges ranging from 66 to 78 and 80 to 90 grains, I use whichever magnum primers I have the most of. To be honest, I would use any magnum primer with any of the above if push came to shove. [/QUOTE]
