Was just wondering if anybody had used the 296 does that require mag primers, if so don't want to go there.
Opinions please.

W296/H110 IMO require a magnum primer although there are those who don't think so. All I know is, my results are always better with a magnum primer than without.
If you're looking for a "real magnum powder" without needing to use a magnum primer I would suggest trying 2400. That is a very good magnum powder that's been around for a very long time.
