Primers for my .454 Casull

I finally have my Encore completely set-up, along with my loading bench down here in Iowa, it's sweet, I finally get my place to go and get away from it all. I've never loaded for the .454 before and I need some primer recommendations for it. Do I use magnum pistol primers or small rifle primers? I have some Remington 7 1/2 BR primers, are they a good choice or should I check out the CCI line? Let me know if you're experienced with this round, and alos feel free to send me some lower-powered loads for starting out with, I've read that I can use Universal, but how much before I run into trouble? TIA

Great article DOK, I think it answers my question, the CCI BR-4 has been recommended to me for use with the .454. When are you coming back from Florida? I have just got my bench set up here in Iowa and my Encore is now a complete unit, we should get together and shoot sometime, it sounds like I have a lot I could learn from you, I'm an experienced reloader, but you have shot much more than I have and done much more experimenting, I load for the smallest groups for my hunting rifles so i can cleanly harvest game. It sound like you load for fun and curiousity, which I will do when I can afford it, but I think you could teach me a lot.
