    300WSM large or large magnum primers?

    Just brought a 300WSM and will start reloading when I get some more money saved.
    From what I've read I shouldn't need to go to magnum primers and the large rifle I already have will work fine.
    Just wondering what others were doing? Cheers

    I’ve always used lrm but a mate did a lot of testing in his 7saum with different primers and found lr was best. I’m happy with mine so won’t muck around with it but if I was starting to work up a load for it I’d probably do a limited test to see if there was one better than the other.

    I was using standard large rifle in mine with Hodgdon Superperformance powder and 178 either eldm or x they both shoot well in the 3 that I load for.
