magnum primers?

[bobo1972]

I am going to reload some 44 magnum. All the books say to use large pistol magnum primers. I am using HP-39 powder. It seems impossible to find any, can I use regular large pistol primers? Any help is appreciated.
thx.

You'll be fine using regular LP primers. My manuals only recommend using magnum primers with very slow-burning pistol powders like H110 or 2400. HP-38 is a relatively fast-burning powder and doesn't require that extra heat to fully combust.

I concur.
