« on: April 26, 2009, 09:03:33 PM »
I  see that cci makes magnum #11 primers. Should I use them? Precautions?

I have bought those by accident and have not noticed a difference between the regular and magnum caps on my rifle, yours might be different.  I'm sure some will claim faster hotter ignition, both versions work fine for me.

i know a couple of people who work for cci in lewiston where they make the caps.  the claim is the magnum caps have something like 2/10 of a gram more priming compound for better ignition on synthetic powder and pelletized powders
"Shoot the spike".  It's much easier to pack out!

I'm having misfire issues with CCI caps on my Lyman GPR .54, then got some of the hot Remington's.  Not a single misfire :dunno:
