What is your experience with #2-1/2 primers? Are they similar to Winchester WLP?
I can buy a brick of Remington 2-1/2 primers to start reloading 44mag for a VERY good price. I originally wanted Winchester WLP since they are recommended for both standard and magnum loads. My concern is consistent & reliable ignition. I would just buy magnum but they are harder to find and expensive. I'm on a budget and won't pay over 10 cents a piece to my door.
I will start out using Ramshot True Blue and Titegroup since I already have them. I have considered adding Enforcer and/or Accurate #7 & 9. Lyman #51 DOES NOT claim magnum primers are needed for any of these powders.
The problem is the Hodgdon site uses 2-1/2 primers for most loads but specifically uses WLP primers for True Blue, Enforcer and all Accurate powders.
I can get WLP's but will take much longer to ship and will cost more.
