Magnum primer question

[asd9055]

Thanks. I'm fairly sure it was around 10°C most mornings.

Cheers.

10C is -12.2F

Mornings were cold enough that the river had mist above it for about an hour, not sure what temp it was because I don't understand Fahrenheit. I have no idea what 20°F is in Celsius.

Cheers.

0 C is 32 F... 100 C is 212 F

That's not cold enough to worry about
This was January. Calling foxes on the river. It was cold, maybe 18⁰ F but the river wasn't frozen

I'm in the same boat nearly out of federal magnum primers, I have 800 cci br2 large rifle primers, could I use these in a 338edge or is it asking to much?

Look for CCI mil spec #35 primers. They are CCI 250 magnum primers built for the military. Usually you can find them at a lower cost.

Correction. It's #34.

You can use them and I'm sure your rounds will go bang. You may have to adjust the powder load to maintain your desired velocity.

I am down to a couple 100 Federal 215M primers so am looking at substituting either Winchester magnum primers or CCI magnum primers, which would you suggest for a 300RUM?

If you have a choice, you're probably better off with the Winchesters over the CCI's. For whatever reason, I've had hang fires with the CCI's especially in the 90 grain plus loads.

Sadly here in Australia we don't have choice at all….

I just paid $25 per 100 for Remington Large Pistol primers…WTH!
How is that real?

Cheers.

Nice dorado in your photo, been to Mexico twice never caught ones that big though

I'll take a big Dorado over a Sailfish or comparable Tuna or even Wahoo any day of the week. They are one of my favorite pelagic species. I might get hate for that comment about Wahoo!

I just did a test on my 6.5 RPM
Loading 120 gr ELD-M with 61.5 4828
loaded 3 with 215M Federal and 3 with LR Winchester!
(before anybody starts ragging on me for light loads let me say these are plinking loads I would not use these bullets on game)
They ran 3166 to 3179 Avg 3174 could not tell the difference!
BTW they shot a sub 1" group!

Seems awful high!
While back I bought 1000 Winchester Large Rifle on Gun Broker for $12.50 100 including Haz Mat!
