Is there a 50 AE load that uses a Winchester large primmer out there. I have a DE and it can't be a load for a lead round. From what I find all load data that I can find is for the CCI Mag primmer and I can't get them right now. I have lots of wichester primmers for now. I also use a jacketed 325 gr. round.

I dont think the Winchester primers are as hot as the CCI350's because they are listed as for "standard and magnum" loads. You should be able to interchange primers as long as you do not load at the high end of the data without working your loads up. I have used Winchester primers in many .50AE loads. Start in the middle and work up, you will need to have the loads hot enough to cycle the DE.

P.S. Don't shoot cast bullets out of your DE as there is a good chance you'll plug the gas port. Jacketed only.

Thanks for the info. I just didn't know if the winchester primers would would with powder like H110. The loads that I have seen said to only use CCI 350 with this powder.
