Read an article by Skeeter Skelton talking about non magnum primers giving more consistent results, tried it, it worked, never looked back.

If I remember correctly Skeeter was using 2400 for those magnum rounds in which case I agree with his findings. When loading 2400 a standard primer does deliver more consistent results. BUT, when using a hard to ignite ball powder like H110/W296 I've always found the use of a magnum primer works out much better. SD numbers climb and are all over the place without using a magnum primer. It all depends upon what powder you're using.
