Have been reloading and casting for 55 years and always stuck pretty much to the standard loading data. My son has asked me to reload for his AR which I have no experience with. My problem is the absence of small mag rifle or pistol primers. I will be using 45-55 gr. bullets and #748 or #2400 powder (which I have the most of). Anyone ever try standard small pistol primers? The velocity need not be top end, just enough to work the action. I used to use these when reloading for .22 Hornet for silhouette competition. (But, I wasn't using the slower burning 748.) i have data for using these powders, but, not with a standard primer. Comments appreciated.
