Standard large rifle primers or Magnum primers in a 7 MMag?
« on: July 26, 2009, 04:53:39 PM »
Looking for some help with primers.I am getting ready to reload some 7 mm Remington ahd would like to know which primers are the best to use with this cartridge? Regular large rifle primers or do I need to use Magnum primers? I will be using a 160 gr. Nosler with H-4831 powder. Thanks in advance for any help.

I use Magnum primers with H4831 in the 7MM MAG.  I just checked four manuals and they all recommend magnum primers.

I use the Federal Match magnum primers in mine. While some may say that they aren't needed, I found that I got better groups with the match primers...And what makes me happy is good for me!

 ;)  I agree with the guys alreading posted. Mag. primers give me the best results in the 7mm mag. I have used cci and federal. At times the mag. primer makes a poor load into a good one in a std. case. This has happened with both my old 06, and my .25-06. G 8) :Dood luck

I use standard (Federal 210M) primers with RL-22.

 :) Thanks guys for all your replies. The only Magnum primers I can find around here at 3 gunshops are the CCI 250 so thats what I will be using.
