Hi Folks.
I haven't posted here in several years, but figured it would be a good place to get some input.
With the shortages on reloading components, you can imagine my delight to discovered a forgotten box of 1K small pistol primers in my primer stash. But they are magnum (CCI #550's actually).
I have been searching the interwebs for information on using the SPMs in 9mm reloads and it doesn't seem to be much of an issue as long as one isn't pushing the upper limits.
I have also in the past used SPMs in some .38 spl loads and didn't notice any ills.
My standard 9mm load for the past year or so has been a 147 grn coated bullet over 3.2 grn's of Titegroup with a CCI #500 primer. It's a good practice round and mimics my purchased competition rounds. I had a dry spell of Titegroup and substituted 3.8 grn's of Unique which seemed to work very well.
I have looked over a couple of threads here and from what I can gather, since I'm not loading "magnum" powders (slower burning), I should be fine.
But, as stated earlier, just looking for some input.
I appreciate your time. Thanks and best wishes.
