I mistakenly bought Remington 5 1/2 pistol primers....This during the time ANY primer was a good thing. I didn't realize how Remington labeled their primers. Like my WTT/WTB ad says, "Shouldn't it say small pistol magnum" on the box? What say you guys about using small pistol magnum primers in place of standard? Anybody done any pressure testing? Reducing charge is the obvious, though a pain in the butt considering I have my set loads for, say, 9mm and .40. I'd be a bit concerned perhaps, in high pressure rounds such as 9 and. 40 too. Maybe .45 ACP or .38 would be better candidates for the mag primer? Everything I load, I load on the lower end of the scale.
What applications ARE there for "Small pistol magnum" primers anyway? I 'spose I should, but haven't looked at my books yet for applications.
