Would backing the load off .2-.3 gr. for the magnum primers be advisable, or, because these are not full snort loads, just use the original load, and interchange magnum/standard primers, according to availability?
Thanx

While magnum primers can be used some powders actually perform better with a standard primer. Unique and 2400 are good examples. If possible use magnum primers for slow ball powders like HS-6, HS-7, W296/H110 and the like.
Side note, over the years I have loaded many hundreds, maybe a thousand of the HS-6 FBI load and I think I will never change.
