I have a 460V and when reloading for it have always used CCI standard large rifle primers. I ran across some CCI 250 large rifle magnum primers the other day I had stashed away - sort of forgot about them. My question is I assume these would work fine for my 460? I searched on this forum and the comments all indicated these magnum primers would be fine in my 460.

Thanks
 
All I use is LR magnum primers in 460 loads...mostly because it was all I could find at the time. I don't have any CCI, though, only Federal and Winchester.

I've never had an issue with them and my load data always matches what it *should be.
 
I'd give them a try. But, with any component change, do another load work up. I read that in the early '70s and have practiced it safely since, new primer? drop the charge and start over (but I like reloading so any "new" load is fun)...

Load data for the 460's call for Large Magnum Rifle Primers, that's what I buy and what I use for the 460's. I prefer the CCI's because the larger boxes require less storage space.
 
Near last Christmas time I walked into our Walmart over to the sporting area out of curiosity. All shelves were empty other than shot and there was boxes scattered in a disorganized manner. I happened to ask the kid working , as a shot in the dark, if he had any primers, he pulled out a brick of CCI250's LRM from under the desk. I asked how much, he said $4.73 (1000). I said I'll take them. I quit looking at other Walmart's afterwards, realizing it was just luck
