I recently pulled jacketed bullets from a box of .30-40 Krag reloads that I bought at a gunshow.
What I plan to load in the cases are soft cast bullets in front of low-end H4227 and Red Dot charges.
The guy who loaded the rounds that I pulled did not indicate primer type on his label. His powder was 4831. It occurred to me that he could possibly have used magnum primers with that slow burner. I debated about pushing out his unknown primer and re-priming with standard LR.
If the loader of this ammo did use magnum primers, and I leave them in, will I be getting into any problem with the light 4227 and Red Dot charges that I intend to load behind a 210 grain cast bullet?
Thanks.
