Powder suggestion for those reduced velocity loads. I really like Titegroup for this application in 41 mag and 327 Fed reduced velocity loads. Beware, it will use a small volume of case capacity and can be easily double charged.
This is backwards on the primers. CCI issued a statement at the beginning of the current shortage stating that SR primers can be used safely in SP applications but not the other way around. LR primers have a different depth cup than LP.
I stand corrected. vagaries of memory.

I measured a few samples.
CCI LR .126 in
CCI LP .118 in
Fed SP .1185 in
Rem SP .1185 in

I do not have any small rifle primers. But it is obvious that there is a significant difference between LR and LP.
