i recently loaded 20 rounds of 25-06 with H4831 and after doing so i realized that i had overlooked that it called for nagnum primers. I loaded it with standard winchester large rifle primers. Will it be safe to go on shoot these? Iwas just throwing some together to fireform the brass.

    You will be fine. The magnum primer just makes sure all the slow powder gets lit better for more consistent ignition. SD and ES numbers may go up a bit but no big deal either way.

    I don't see a problem. I load standard primers in the 6.5-06 with H4831, virtually the same thing, only .007" difference. Hell I lit retumbo and RL25 in that case with standard LR primers.
