Just like the title reads, How much should you reduce SAAMI SPEC. loads (which call for regular primers) while using any type of magnum primers?
Thanks in advance

That's what I'm wondering about the 450's and the CCI41's. Do they have more power or a bigger flame when ignited, I'm not exactly sure how they work to begin with. I've been told numerous times that the 41's are the same as the 450's except they have a harder cup.but I think the magnum primer is used to ignite certain powders better, not necessarily to give more velocity.
When you're loading for SPC2 Chambers, do you normally start in the middle SAAMI spec. loads as a good starting place then work up? Or do most of you start at SAAMI minimum charges? Obviously I want to be safe, but I also don't want to waste time at a super low charge, when the gun is capable of more.You don't 'reduce' a load the way you're thinking. If you switch primers, you should work the load back up just like you would for a brand new load. I don't use anything but mag primers in my 6.8 loads, but every load was worked up from mid-level charges. That's the safe and correct way to do it.
