Primer mag vs standard

[Kory]

My lgs has. Cci small magnum pistol primers for 2$ 100 but I use regulars what would it hurt getting those

Kory, I am really trying to be nice. You don't really think magnum primers and standard primers are interchangeable, do you?

Of course it would not "hurt" anything as long as you use a load from a reloading manual that lists a magnum primer for the caliber that you want to use these primers in.

Does your reloading manual list a load using a magnum primer?

Some people "shoot from the hip" and reduce their loads by some percentage when using magnum primers instead of standard primers. A dangerous practice, IMO.

I just needed talking down I was going to keep on the shoot from the hip idea

You might consider buying those magnum primers in case you are going to load 357 magnum or something else later.

Or just for trading stock. 20 bucks a thousand is a very good price.

Trading stock isn't a ban idea and the wife mentioned thinking the chippa rhino was cool

Me Too..

I resemble that remark!

There are only two negatives, that I know of on using Mag/Rifle primers in place of Standard Primers in most any Small primer load.
1. Running a "Balls Out" MAX Load. (That is DUMB anyway, IMO)
2. Running the loads in a firearm with a "Light Strike" ignition system-IOW, weapons that have been "Tuned" for the lightest operation possible.

If you have other negatives to this practice, I would like to hear them=I, like most here am "Always Learning"....Bill.

Yes more than just don't do it I can take a small risk but if it a real big one no way.
