PRIMERS!!! Before I started I went to the shop and i told the guy what i was loading and he gave me a box of CCI 200 primers.
Well now i read a few articles and it says i need to buy large rifle magnum primers not just large rifle primers.
So, i have 5 cartridges made in the above specs but have used CCI 200's rather than CCI 250's.
Shoot them ?
disassemble ?
You can shoot em with 4831. You really want mags for any powder with burning rate above IMR4350. But you can get by with 200's. If you told me you were shooting RL25, definately mags. Or if you said you were hunting Alaska, go with mags.
Sometimes little mistakes like this pay off big. I didn't have any Varget or 4064 on hand for my 7mm-08 and I wanted to go shooting, so I loaded some IMR4350 adn was shocked how good it shot. I am talking sub0.5MOA. And its not an ideal powder for 7mm08 but go with what works.
