17lb mainspring enough for LP primers?

[ipscjoe]

Just changed my mainspring in my Kimber gold match II to a 17lb spring.......I normally use one for small pistol primers but wanted to check to see what the consensus was with large

Should do the trick, that is what I use. Works fine with Tula large and small primers.

Same here... no problems with any primers I've tried.

I usually use a 19# with no trouble.

I have found that large primers generally light more readily than small primers of the same brand. If 17 works with small primers it should work fine with large, all other things being equal.
