[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1890732, member: 113391"] Primers come in different strengths known as [I]brisance,[/I] [I]meaning “ the shattering effect of a high explosive”.[/I] Primer strength depends on the length of the flame that erupts through the flash hole, ( that’s why deburring and uniforming flash holes is a good thing). Primers designated for magnum use have more Brisance. To work up a load using them for "non magnum" calibers I would think would be tedious at best. Maybe Load Data has some records. If you are adventurous and fearless, go ahead. What Mtwarych wrote makes sense as a first option. If that is exhausted , I would put 'em away for future use. And there are probably a whole bunch of LRH members drooling to trade or buy from you. Then , you may acquire a mag caliber in the future and kick yourself for not saving 'em. [/QUOTE]
