The .243 IS a large rifle primer cartridge. However, you should stay with standard primers unless a trusted source of information lists a magnum primer for a given load. When you change ANY one component- powder, bullet, primer- go to the starting load and work up. Magnum primers can give unexpected pressure levels with some powders.
NEVER DEVIATE FROM PUBLISHED LOADING DATA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not use any component not listed in an accepted loading reference.
We cannot provide specific information due to liability considerations. Safe loads vary, depending on a number of factors. Check here: http://www.handloads.org/
Loads that carry more shot and powder.
NO. You clean a barrel with a cleaning kit. Magnum loads are fired only in arms designed for them.
Yes, they are all high brass and considered magnum loads
Buy a reloading manual.
Yes, you can generally interchange Federal 209A primers with Winchester 209 primers without significantly altering your formula, as both are designed for similar performance in shotshell reloading. However, it's important to note that slight variations in ignition characteristics may occur, which could affect the consistency of your loads. Always conduct a test with your specific loads to ensure reliability and safety before making any changes in a production setting.
The SP and SR primers are same size, but with different cup thickness/hardness and different amount/brisance of priming compound. You will need to be vigilant in working up loads. You can use small rifle primers in place of small pistol, just not the reverse.
Is it chambered for magnum shells? If not, the answer is NO.
Press 'Refresh' (or 'Reload' depending on the software) or F5.
Depending on the gr/ the harder you squeeze the more speed the bullet travels(lol)/
There ARE rifles and revolvers chambered for the 44 magnum cartridge. If the weapon is marked ".44 Magnum" then it can be used in that weapon. You should know that there are other .44 caliber catridges, and THOSE weapons (44 Special, 44-40, etc) cannot use 44 magnum loads.
