Same caveats as any load - start low and work up. I have found that in some cartridges I get groups that are tighter on average using LR Mag primers.

Nice shooting Jeff, love the green country, there 'ain't none of that out my way.
I like the roller as well, I had one in 357 mag which was a lovely little bit of gear.
