OKay, I have two types of large magnum rifle primers in my inventory. A small amount of WLRM Winchester and a pile of CCI Magnum large rifle primers. Both of these provide excellent performance in my .308 with Reloader 15 (168 gr bullet) but I am going to be using a lot more powder ....a lot more of the slower Reloader 25 in the .408 cartridge and a 420 gr bullet.
I would probably prefer Fed 215 but I can not find them --- is there a serious risk that these large magnum rifle primers won't light up this hand grenade of a cartridge. I am not looking forward to a hang fire with this puppy.
FYI I am going to have someone with .408 loading experience helping me out on these as the jump from .308 and .260s to .408 has me even (more tha a bit) cautious .....
