Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Anyone using LP primers in rifle loads?

I have done it many times.

All I have ever done this with is Bolt Actions and its useful and worth understanding how its done.

Using Blue Dot loads and such with Large pistol primers worked.

Even used small pistol primers for reduced pistol powder loads in .223 worked just fine.

As long as you watch what you are doing and have some experience with loading like this its just fine.

Large pistol primers were cheap at one time. Cheaper than using Large Rifle for reduced loads meant more sense then and still does.

So for reduced loads using pistol powders from Lymans Cast Bullet manual it worked perfect....everytime.

From .30-30 up to 300 Win mag reduced loads using pistol powders worked.

Even for my .243 and 70 grain bullets worked too.
