S&B Small Pistol Primers?

[kingdarb]

Has anyone used these? I've only used CCI to reload for 9mm, but it looks like I can save a couple bucks buying these in bulk instead. Does anyone have any experience with em? Good/bad?

I've been using them for the last 5 years...no issues. I actually prefer them over WSP...because they load in my auto primer filler much smoother

Never had any issues with em. Have used a few thousand with good results.

I have used them successfully. They are a harder primer, comparable to CCI.

Good primers very consistent

 

[kingdarb]

Thanks guys. I'm using CCI primers at the moment so I guess they will be similar.

What are you basing that statement on?

I use them in my IPSC Open gun...it has a very light hammer strike and I have not has a single soft tap in about 40,000 rounds using S&B. I've never used CCI...so I have no idea how they would compare in the same gun

I got the same warning when I first tried them...I'm just wondering if it's factual...or one of those urban myths that seem to make their way around...

Shot my first 38 reloads with them last night, no issues

I'm just going to be shooting them in my stock G34, so light strikes shouldn't be an issue... will give em a go!

I had a couple of light strikes with my CZ 75B with a 15 lb reduced mainspring. I switched back to a standard weight spring and had no further light strikes. As always, individual results may vary.

I have shot 4000 thru my shadow without any problems
Will be ordering 5000 more from SFRC soon

I'm using them in 9mm and 38 spl, no problem, shot approx 3000, i would say they are very similar to winchesters.
