Primer Info

I have some Sierra 140 grain bullets and some 150 grain Nosler bullets I plan on loading later for my 7MM Rem. Mag. Can I use large rifle primers to load with Hodgdon Hybrid 100 or IMR 4350 powder?






Noslers ROCK!

spires5d, I also use IMR4350, but use large rifle mag primers.

You can use standard LR primers for the 7 mag without to much problems, unless your hunting in sub zero temps, I wouldn't worry about it to much. A mag primer might also boost your velocity 25-50fps, but again, not really a significant difference.

7 mag dont really burn that much powder to actually NEED a magnum primer.

Have to admit to using Fed 215 mags though in mine, but thats just because I started with them and haven't ever changed.

If all I had was some Fed 210's or whatever, and they shot good, I wouldn't see a need to change them either.

Just follow the recipe in the reloading manual you are using. It will specify if you should go to mag primers.

Standard primers will work fine with 4350. It's a stick powder.
I've never used the hybred.

Yes you can

Standard LR Primers will work fine.
