I am a newbie to reloading so please do not laugh. I am going to reload for a 45 auto and a 380 auto. I plan on using Winchester primers. Large pistol for the 45 Auto? Small pistol for the 380 Auto? mttrapper[:)]

  Of course it is. That is exactly what they were designed for. Magnum primers help to ignite large amounts of slow burning powder more uniformly, especially when it is cold out.

  I think what your asking is, Weatherby recommends Federal Magnum Primers, are the CCi Mag primers okay. Yes they are, just work up your load.

  Absolutely they are OK to use. I used to think primers could be chosen by what was available in my cabinet till I found a 7mm Mag that grouped better with WLRM primers than CCI and a 22-250 that grouped better with CCI than Federal. No knock on Federal; they have a great reputation. It made me realize primers are just another variable to be worked out along with powder, bullets and seating depth.
