I was digging thru my stash looking for 205's and found 2k LR magnum primers(1100 Win and 900 CCI). Is anyone using them in their .308? I don't shoot a magnum anymore and if I can use them up.....
Thanks,

That will work.
Just pulled out your old note. Sure enough, you already told me!
Thanks Jason.

I have been using CCI mag primers with varget in a 308 with good results as well.

I use them as well. At least in my 308 Win. handgun, the magnum primers work better than regular large rifle primers.

After finding 2000 CCI 250s I'd forgotten about, not owning any magnum rifles, and an abundance of cheapness, I tried them in my .308 under some Sierra 110 grain HP bullets. Pretty damn good!
Accurate and no adverse signs of pressure. I did start at the beginning (Min) load but would have no hesitation now working back up to my usual mid range loads.
No trail blazer here, sadly...

Is anyone reducing their powder charge with the mag primers?
I am loading with LC Match brass (7.62) and have mag primers also???

I use the same load with Magnum and non magnum primers. Cant tell a difference. All military NATO 308 ammo uses magnum primers.

As agent Mulder might say, "I want to believe". But how does one know this is a fact?
