[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1486088, member: 48043"] If I do not know it will fire in sub zero conditions, I will NOT load it. That said, up to about 70 grains of single base powder can be lit with a standard primer. Keep in mind that not all standard primers are equal, with win being a bit hotter than fed, cci, or rem.. I'd rather hit it a bit too hard and use a mag primer instead of a standard... You can still get accuracy and decent es, etc. "over-ignited" but I dare you to hit something with a bullet lodged in the barrel. [/QUOTE]
