In a recent Federal Premium Ammunition publication, I've noticed that they list the primer they are using in all the Premium ammo they're making. All of the loads listed for the 44 Magnum used their #150 standard large pistol primer. These loads ranged from the 225 grain Barnes Copper HP to the 300 special cast bullet - all of their best for hunting.

I have been reading on Cast Bullet forums of others that have gone to the Federal 150 for all their shooting in 44 Mag and heavy 45 Colt with slow powders like 296/H110 and are getting good consistent results!

I have been switching over and am just getting into testing - I believe it is worth a try.
