I goofed up



  • I Got CCI 250M primers for my 300 Norma Mag. I read some of Gregs posts and given that I'm going to be lighting up about 83gr of Retumbo I guess I should bite the bullet and get Fed 215M.

    Can I use 250m's on my 308's with 4064 or should I just save them for my 300WM that I never shoot?



  • CCI 250's may work... depending on the batch of powder you're running and the batch of primers you have. I experienced hang fires with them from time to time on large capacity cases.

    You likely can use them in 308.

    Yeah I read one of your posts on hangs that's why I'd prefer not to invest effort in an iffy reloading component.

    How much should I drop my 308 pet load of 43.2 for my 308 if I'm using the 250Ms?



  • Reduce by 1gr for testing and creep back up to load, testing velocity as you go. Very likely it won't change much if at all.
