[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 433240, member: 307"] A good case is one I ran across last weekend. I was loading the 70gn Ballistic Tip for my .243 using BLC(2). I selected the CCI BR2 and even though I was max or near max with the powder charge I was still getting the occasional hang fire. BLC(2) is a fine ball powder and a hotter flame, I feel, would eliminate this condition. Cold weather could possibly be a reason to go to magnum primers but I think anytime you go over 60gns of powder it's beneficial to use a magnum primer. I remember reading the Fed215 was conceived for the Weatherby magnum rounds. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
