Dibs on 1k Small rifle primers

 

[GFO270]

I apologize for getting on here late. I have been having problems getting onto the forum. Theses items are all sold.

MarkAd, the S&B primers said on the box that they were for rifle, pistol, or revolver.

 

[MarkAd]

interesting now i am going to have to check on that. I just had the depth discussion a few days ago.

 

[ma96782]

I purchased the entire lot of primers and powder from GFO270.
That lot included the 1000 ct. S&B Lg Rifle primers in question.

I think that to a degree you are BOTH correct.

YES, with this particular box does say (upper right corner):




YES, Large Rifle and Large Pistol Primers are USUALLY NOT interchangeable due to height.

BTW, new unfired height measurements:

S&B Primers in question, height = 0.1235"
CCI Large Rifle Primers #200 height = 0.1255"
CCI Large Pistol Primers #300 height = 0.1220"

LAWYER TIME..........

Always use the CORRECT PRIMER for your particular application.
_________________________________________________________________________________


That being said............

1) I have used/experimented with using small rifle primers in sm pistol applications.

2) I do not use sm pistol primers as a replacement for sm rifle applications.

3) And, I do not use large rifle for large pistol or vis versa applications.

4) Always rememeber, that when you're reloading, you should start low and work your way up. Check for signs of overpressure and other various types of signs of failure(s) and/or pending failure(s). YOU have the ultimate responsibility. Be safe.

Aloha, Mark

PS..............

From the Speer manual..........

Repriming is a simple, but critical, step that reloaders often do not give enough attention to. In order to gain optimum primer sensitivity, it must be seated firmly to the bottom of the primer pocket. But this doesn't mean using so much force that the primer cup is deformed. When primers are properly seated, the top of the primer is from .005" to .008" below flush with the case head. The purpose of this is to assure that the primer anvil legs are in firm contact with the bottom of the primer pocket. If they are not so seated, it requires an average of 59% greater firing pin blow to give reliable ignition. This much extra force simply isn't available in many firearms.

Analysis of hundreds of handload misfires complaints show that the vast majority are caused by insufficient primer seating.

You can check............by running your finger along the bottoms of your cases. You'll learn the "feel of the primers" as they should be seated below flush.

But, I admit that it isn't always true with my reloaded pistol cartridges.

Ballistic Tools - Articles - Minimum and maximum primer and primer pocket dimensions

Unless you are shooting one of the newer super magnum pistol cartridges that are made for large rifle primers, don't use them. If they fit, your brass is likely warn out. And there is no way to use a rifle primer for a pressure check in a handgun reliably.
