For more information on component switching...........Try reading the subject: How do changing various components affect chamber pressure and velocity?
www.frfrogspad.com/miscelld.htm#components And, for liability............ Never mix or substitute components.
Every lot of powder, primers, bullets, brass, and any other components can differ significantly. Different manufacturer's components differ substantially. For example, never substitute Federal brand primers for Magtech, and expect the same results. One primer may be fine with your load, but another brand may cause extreme pressures with the same load. Don't substitute magnum primers for standard primers for the same reason. Just because two brands of powder have similar characteristics, that does not mean they are interchangeable or mixable. Every time you finish with a lot of a component, you will have to back off the load slightly and start over, checking for overpressure signs, just as you did when you first worked the load up. You are in essence working up a brand new load. Taken from the Magtech web site. Aloha, Mark |

Quoted:
I was going to ask this same question for a .223 recipe I have. it calls for a Fed 205 primer, but all I could find was Rem 6-1/2. I was just going to switch them out. I like the sound of lowering the load by 10% to keep it safe though  Do NOT use 6 1/2 in any 223. The 6 1/2 was design3ed for low pressure rounds like the Hornet. From Remington's web site. I believe it says this on the box of 6 1/2 as well. In rifle cartridges, the 6-1/2 small rifle primer should not be used in the 17 Remington, 222 Remington or the 223 Remington. The 7-1/2 BR is the proper small rifle primer for these rounds. |
