A magnum primer produces a hotter, more intense flame. This is produced by adding a powdered metal, such as aluminum, to the the priming compound. They are used to ignite larger charges or more "hard to light" powders.

The .243 IS a large rifle primer cartridge. However, you should stay with standard primers unless a trusted source of information lists a magnum primer for a given load. When you change ANY one component- powder, bullet, primer- go to the starting load and work up. Magnum primers can give unexpected pressure levels with some powders.
