[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1485816, member: 28965"] Double base ball powders have more deterrent coatings than single base powders and a magnum primer should be used. Even military 5.56 Lake City ammo uses magnum primers that also help in cold weather. So even if you use a single base powder and if you hunt in very cold weather magnum primers are added insurance. Remington ran Lake City from 1941 until 1985 and used their 9 1/2 and 7 1/2 primers to light off Winchester double base ball powders. Look at the photos at the link below, I cheat and use Remington primers with every type powder I load. [B]Primer Flash Test Photos[/B] [URL]http://www.6mmbr.com/primerpix.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
