Does any one have any good recipies? Also are magnum primers neccasary? My lee reloading manuel says to never use them???

The general rule with magnum primers is to use them when the charge gets over 60 grains. Not all are the same, though. The CCI 250 primers don't appear to be any hotter than the CCI 200's; just a lot more consistent. The Remington and Winchester LR magnum primer are hotter than their regular counterpart. And the Federal 215's are the hottest of all - necessary for the big Weatherby's, but not always the best choice for some of the smaller cased magnums. Personally, I have had the best luck with the Winchester LR Magnum primers in the WSM series of cartridges. Good luck.
