Re: Small pistol primers vs small pistol MAGNUMS

This is just my opinion, not a proven fact -- If your load is so hot that the difference between a standard primer and a magnum primer causes a KB, then your load is too hot period.

I switch from standard to magnum primers without any concerns for all of my target loads. I would be slightly concerned only if I was using a maximum load in a low pressure caliber with brass that had been reloaded several time. Winchester only makes one LP primer and labels it good for both standard and magnum, at least they used to, since I have not bought any Win primers in a few years it could be different now. Obviously they don't think their primer will blow up any standard loads.
