Federal 205s in M&Ps?

[Chuck Edwards]

Yes, I know that these are small rifle primers, but they work in my CZs and my Beretta. I'm saving my Fed 100s for my .38 Special loads. I've got a case of 205s I've been sitting on for a while and wanted to use them if they'll work. The pistols are M&P FS in 9x19 (minor loads) and .40 S&W (major loads).

Thanks!

Do a search, there is a recent thread and one before that and one before and .............

Yes you can use them. If they go bang you are good. Only issue is they are harder and might not get a solid strike from the firing pin. So load a few and see if the work first.

Edit:

Here is the most recent one and if you scroll all the way to the bottom of it you will find many more.
