[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2012738, member: 10755"] I don’t buy into this notion that a SRP in say a 6.5 Creed is not going to ignite a dose of RE26 or H1000. I use STANDARD primers behind 100+gr of powder all the time. Even in my 505Gibbs (148gr RETUMBO) 416 Rigby (104gr RE25) with nary a problem. My 500NE 3 1/4” uses 112gr powder and I have used BR2 primers I had laying around without issue. Double base stick powders are easier to ignite than ball powder, they don’t have the same deterrent coatings and even RETUMBO used in my 300WM will ignite with a standard primer, as does RE19 in my 338’s. Heck, I’ve even used standard Rem 9 1/2 in my 338-416 Rigby Improved. As long as case fill matches the burn rate of the powder and, the fill ratio is high enough that the primer flash pressurises the case, the powder will ignite uniformly. It’s not ALL about the TYPE or SIZE of the primer being used. Cold weather...I’m still on the fence. Will let you know next winter. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
