Which would be the most appropriate primer for N110 in .44 mag, .41 mag and .357 mag?

I worked up a 41 mag load with N-110 and had great success with the Fed 210, large rifle standard primer.

mag pistol primers are the correct one. Be careful with the rifle primers they can run slightly taller and will sometime protrude enough that its possible the recoil shield could set them off in a heavy recoiling load.

I've used WW LPP, they say for mag or std loads.

I only use Fed 150's in the .44 with 296. The only way to see what you get is to shoot a bunch of groups with both primers then come back and post your results.
Mag primers triple my groups.

I wont argue that. Ive seen it myself espesially with top end loads with 110. The only problem is up here it gets cold and when it gets down to deer season cold the std primers just havent held up for me and loads that shot well in the summer are like doctor jeckle and mr hyde. they also seem to fail miserably for me when i try to down load to any degree with 110. I pretty much stick to cci 350s for 110 anymore. It makes accuracy alot more stable in rounds loaded with it. If it shoots a 1/2 inch bigger group in the summer heat so be it.

Our weather in in the WV eastern panhandle is mild with very few cold days. No problems with primers. It was always HOT when I shot IHMSA, even in OHIO and PA and that is when I found better accuracy with the 150's.
I do miss the Ohio and PA snow storms when hunting though. I still HATE hot, humid weather.
I loved tracking deer with my gloves frozen to my muzzle loader barrel. :mrgreen:
I do agree that bitter cold demands a hotter primer but for normal weather, testing both is the best thing to do.
I have never believed that mag primers are the only ones to use with slow powders. Heat is all that is needed, not primer pressure, in most cases. It is when the heat is damped out that you need to step up.
I even use LP primers in some large capacity rifle cases like the 45-70 with black powder and LP mag's in my 45-70 revolver. I use the LP mag in my .475.

Several people have mentioned that Winchester standard primers are as hot -- temperature plus duration -- as other magnum primers. I have no idea whether this is accurate. If it is, however, what does this imply for Winchester magnum primers?

there is no mag winch primers just the combo std/mags. and no there not as hot as a cci or fed mag primer but are hotter then most std. primers.
