CCI #450 magnum small rifle primers

[NOLA556]

i read on a couple other sites that these magnum primers are fine for .223 but you may want to downsize your powder charge? anyone know anything about this?

From what I have read magnum primers burn faster and light more powder faster. I can't speak to downloading your rounds on account of it.

thanks bro. i just wanted to see if anyone here knew anything about it because there seems to be some mixed opinions on other sites.

There is alot of misinformation in the reloading realm. I don't want to add to it but I did notice that they recommend using magnum primers if you expect temps below 20... WTF??
