[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 2096988, member: 109327"] It's not ingnorance, you don't know what you don't know and asking is smart. So simple answer is yes you can work up a load with a Mag primer for a standard cartridge and you can work up a load for a Mag cartridge with a standard primer. Key is working up and starting out within published data if your just getting started. Using mag primers in the 308 or 270 won't cause issues if you work it up. Standard primers in a mag cartridge usually only is an issue with hard to light slow burning powders or low ambient temps. Ive even seen better SD's and ES's with standard primers in Mag cartridges and vice versa. Edit: if you do figure out a load and then switch any component you should back off your charge or start over until you get more experience with reloading and reading pressure signs and knowing whether you are already pushing high pressure or are low enough that swapping a primer brand or mag vs standard will or won't cause an over pressure issue [/QUOTE]
