Just wondering what primers others are using with 231?

Even though W231 is a ball powder it doesn't seem to be as hard to ignite as it's slower brother, W296. While W296 seems to do best with a magnum primer I have never seen the need for a magnum primer with W231.
I'm very interested in your test with both. Please make a new thread so we can talk about it when you gather your data.
