Nother Newbe Question

[dtmd]

Loading some 308 with accurate 2460. It calls for a magnum primer the question is , does it matter if it's large or small rifle? I have cci 450 small rifle magnum. I also am looking for some 00 buck for some reduced loads if someone could steer me right I would appreciate it.

[Raoul]

don't load 308, but I believe they use large. There is a size difference between large and small primers.

Need large rifle

[Raoul]

yeah the Accurate site does specify Larger Rifle. NOT MAGNUM.

You definitely need a reloading manual or three before proceeding any further.

Thanks for the information. The new sierra doesn't show for 2460 but an older speer does for 125gr and it just says cci magnum primer with this load.

Just a word of experience. Read several load manuals. Then read some more. Read, read, read. Then find someone who lives near you who is willing to tutor.

All .308 cases I have ever seen use large rifle primers. So that is what you need.

00 buck in a 30 cal rifle is a fun idea that I have always meant to try, but haven't yet. What powder are you going to use? I may give that a try myself sometime this week.

Good luck,

Will

I have some Bullseye that I don't use. Thanks for the help.

I started reloading using 2 manuals.  After a very short time a third was added.

That's the reason I picked up the Sierra book and will probably be looking for number 3 here shortly.
