but I strongly suggest contacting Hodgdon before shooting any.

Quote from Reloader on November 1, 2008, 6:29 pmHey, at least you caught it; I guess I would say that you're not a complete idiot!!
Not sure if this is relevant or not, might be an apples and oranges issue, but I've been loading my 223's with small rifle magnum primers for years with no problems, just because that's what I have available. I have not noticed any signs of high pressure, and I do load to near maximum case capacity using 748 powder.
One piece of advice I would give for future loading sessions: Use Winchester large pistol primers, these are designed for standard or magnum loads. I use the WLP's for all of my 44 mag full power loads, 44 special, and 45 ACP, all with no problems whatsoever. And I only need to keep one large pistol primer around.
Hope this helps,
Red

Quote from Reloader on November 20, 2008, 4:37 pmWinchester 748 in 223 does call for a magnum primer. SOme powders are pressure-sensitive to magnum primers, others are not. I do know that with IMR Trailboss powder, the only difference between 38 Special loads and 357 Magnum loads are the use of standard or magnum primers. The powder charges are identical. So be very careful about casually substituting magnum for standard primers.
