Anyone using "Mag Tech" Small Pistol Primers?.....

[Mikej]

There's a good BUY on them at Mid South w/Free Haz-Mat.
I'm down to 2000 of the TULA SPP primers I got back in, probably, 2014!

Any issues?

Their ammo seems fine, never had a problem. Good onya though for wondering as nothing sucks more than sucky primers.

Way back when I started loading in 2011, and Sandy Hook happened, powder and primers went away for a period. I knew very little about what brand primers were good/bad. IF, there were bad primers. I bought 10,000 Tula SP primers. I've got 2000 left, and never had a dud. I'm figuring the Magtech are fine. If I don't hear any BAD I'll order 5K this afternoon. FREE HAZ-MAT after all!

I wonder if you can get a deal on factory second parachutes, too?

I have run a few MagTech large pistol primers in a 10mm, no issues. That is quite a deal at MidSouth.

Or, "Only used once. Some light red staining"

Those factory seconds are all from a newer manufacturer, White River.

Have a bunch, have yet to use them. Also have zero concerns over using them, as they will be for range use only.

The value at time of purchase outweighed any concerns.

Might not outweigh other folks concerns.

Noteable: American Reloading has Ruag LEAD FREE small rifle primers @ $170/5000. Shipped. Listed in pistol section, price reduces in cart. Those might be interesting to experiment with hammer fired pistols...at ~$.03/primer. Interesting.

As towards original question & Magtech primers? Never used them reloading, however shot many thousands of their ammo. So I would reload with there primers if given the opportunity...

They're made by White River. They're great. I've loaded thousands of them. If you were closer, I'd give you a few to try...

... and Astra Sports has SyA (Argentinian Military) SPP for about $40 per K delivered. I've used 1000's...

After going back and looking into these Ruag primers again, I went ahead and ordered 5,000

Thanks again for the heads up. AFAIK Ruag is a high quality manufacturer and the only issue is with blemishes on the packaging.

I ordered the 5K Magtech small pistol primers. But there's an issue. I never got the confirmation e-mail stating order completed. I have an order "number with the charges and total, but no email? Something to do with the weekend/Saturday?
This morning I got a "Midsouth shot Report: Volume 19" in email though. Anyone else experience this?

You might have got those Tula primers from me? I'm not sure I would have used the other 5K?
