What criteria constitutes a magnum case?What about using magnum primers in a non-magnum case?
I was just yanking you're chain. It makes no difference really. Might back off the charge a bit to compensate for the slightly higher pressures of magnum primers with max loads. I used to use CCI 250 primers in my .30-06 M1 loads as they were supposed to eliminate slam fires and in other "standard" cartridges when they were all I had.@Lange Carabine I’m thinking 7mag exc... The reason I’m asking - I have a 6mm creedmoor and the only primers I can find are magnum.
Loading 147 grain 9 mm in a not too hot load. Running out of small pistol primers. Can I use small rifle?
Buttfest?? GrossGood. Cuz got a buttfest of SRP from back when I gave up on 223.

Be aware that rifle primers have thicker cups in order to withstand the higher pressures rifle ammunition generates.
As I understand it using rifle primers in pistol rounds may be problematic as pistol springs may not always have enough power to ensure reliable ignition.
Never use pistol primers in rifle rounds as the thinner cups can cause blown primers.
Just my .02 worth. Others may say different.
