If that is all you have then yes ,you can use them as long as your gun will make them go bang.I think that holds for any other pistol round. Heck some people use SRP



I personally do not think they will add much "pressure" to a regular load, they are not that hot.

But as always start low and work up

When changing any component and especially substituting primers, go back to starting load data and work up if necessary...
