what would happen if by mistake use large magnum primer in a 308 win? friend of mine did that last night and loaded 50rds that way using imr 4320 powder

With the supply situation the way it is, I may not be able to match a particular primer brand with the powder brand that my manuals specify. What's the best way to handle this situation? Is it anything to worry about?
I'm new to reloading & I don't want to do anything to hurt my gun or myself.

Which one of these two primers do you guys feel is better. CCI benchrest or Federal match?

What's the rest of the recipe? Unless it's a really hot load, it should be OK. Keep in mind, you're getting this advice from some one whose skill level you don't know.

168 grain match hollow point, 43 grains of imr 4320

You may find it shoots better.

That's a light enough load that it shoudn't create any problem and as bpost1958 said
