44 mag primer question

[todbartell]

I have a 44 magnum, and load with H110. Is the Winchester WLP primer ok with H110 or should I go with CCI350 magnums or Federal 155 magnum? Winchester labels their WLP as 'For standard or magnum loads'. I ask because I can get WLP primer by a carton, and CCI350/Fed155 only by the hundred. Id rather buy in quantity to help with consistency.


thanks

Ive never had any problems with ignition or accuracy with WLP primers in any .44's i've made up. I have a suspicion magnum primers are overkill... even when used with "magnums".

I just did a primer comparison using relatively hot 10mm reloads CCI350's and WLP's.

End result: Using CCI350's added 5%~6% more velocity (I assume more pressure as well.)

That's it.

I use WLP in my 44mag reloads and they work OK... Nothing out of the ordinary.

WLP are for standard and magnum loads...
never had any problems with that. As a matter of fact, that's why I am using them, so i have to keep only one kind of primers for large pistol...

I have used winchester large pistol with H110 . I think I used 24 to 25 grains and a 240 jacketed bullet in my marlin and it worked great . very accurate also .
