Russian Primers, Small Pistol

[Nathan Forrest]

I'm glad to have them considering the shortages but they seem to require an amount of extra effort to seat using my Dillon 550. Anyone else notice this?

No problem with the Big Red Machine !!!!!! (Lee Load Master)

 

[HKSmith]

I've used close to 8000 Wolf SP and LP primers without any problems, in cartridges from .32 S&W to .45 Colt. I use a Lee Autoprime handheld tool for all my priming and haven't noticed any need for increased force in seating them compared to just about every other available brand. The only exception is S&B brass, which has tight primer pockets.

 

[Skip Sackett]

Yes, they do seat a bit harder. I have noticed it in my Dillons, three SDB and an XL650.

No big deal though and all have gone bang. A good thing to my way of thinking!

 

[Rule3]

I have used them in a Lee Breech lock, Lee turret, Lee hand primer and RCBS universal hand primer. Maybe a tad harder to insert than say Winchester, more like CCI but no difficulties, plus they work.

 

[Emerson]

I've loaded several thousand and they may be a tad tighter but they work.

What brass and caliber are you loading?
S&B,PMC, some WCC and others have pockets that will be hard to load of any primer.
