[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 1729893, member: 11853"] I started using Winchester magnum primers on everything.I was switching back and forth between magnum and standard depending on what I was loading for,so I decided what the hell,I'll just try the magnums on my standard rounds and they worked quite well.I load for 7mag,7STW,308Win,30-06,300WSM,300 Win Mag and 338-06.Every one of those rifles will shoot under 1/2" with them.Winchester did have some problems with some of their primers a while back.Some of them I bought between 2008 and 2012 would burnout on the side and burn the bolt face.They have since been corrected and fit much tighter in the primer pockets than the problem ones.I have zero issues with the new ones.I recently bought some Federal GM215 Magnum Match Grade primers just to see if I notice any difference but I haven't been to the range yet to try them out.One thing I did notice between the two primers is,the Federals weighed 5.6grs and the Winchester weigh 5.3grs.
