    Small pistol magnum primers

    So during the great scare a few years ago, I picked up 6K small pistol magnum primers.

    Any really good application for these? Was thinking I would just drop my load a little and use em for regular loads, but rethinking that. Especially since everything I easier to get now.
    The only caliber I reload for that seems to need them is some 357 magnum loadings.

    Or just load some 9mm and see what happens.

    The cliffnotes version is
    The small pistol magnum=the small rifle.
    CCI are that way Others may be as well.
    The 3 links are worth a read.

    I've used them in place of non-magnum. Some autos supposedly do not like them, but I saw no problem and not much FPS difference between them and non-magnum.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    Well shit, can’t believe I asked the same damn question two years running. Almost to the day.

    Guess they will be rebranded as small rifle now. Maybe I can remember this time. Guess I ain’t gotta buy any rifle for a while.

    I "park" stuff I come across here, so I can find it later.

    Rumbler's house is hard to search with all the clutter.
    It helps to know what shoebox to rifle through.

    Guess I ain’t gotta buy any rifle for a while.

    I'd Load them in pistol as well, If I was running warm/hot loads I'd drop the charge a little and work up. If low end target loads I'd probably just check through the chrono though.
