If you want them shinier run them longer. I usually tumble for at least 12 hours and sometimes 24. It will remove the annealing marks if you run it long enough.Cleaned and deprimed a bunch of 5.56. Doesn't look like much but it was 4 loads to get it clean and I probably load way too many cases.
I have a ton of Swiss, FC, and LC brass to sort/ream.
Aren’t all 380 small pistol primer?I just finished hand priming 900 rounds of 380. 800 if them were small rifle primer...
I'm honestly temped to just throw them all in the effing trash.

Well that was the goal.... But in my haste I picked the wrong brick of primers out of the drawer.Aren’t all 380 small pistol primer?
I’m sorry. I misread that. I thought I was remembering wrong.Well that was the goal.... But in my haste I picked the wrong brick of primers out of the drawer.
I guess the upside is that I have another 1000+ to go so I suppose I can out these ones away and just forget about them...

Well the guy at Cabela's sold them to me months ago and said they worked for both. Loaded 200 in my 9 but had about 40% not fire on the first strike. My p85 I can just keep pulling the trigger until it fired. I had a few that took 3 tries and a few that didn't go off at all.Try a few in her pistol and see if they fire(primed case). I don't know about now but back then the biggest difference was rifle primers were harder than pistol to withstand more pressure.
Love my 709. Eats everything I throw at it for the past 5-600 rounds and I hate DAO triggers anyway. Not to mention it was CHEAP.Yep.
I have another 1000 or so to prime still but have the right primers. I'm loading 380 for my wife to shoot and practice with. Maybe these might be good for recoil management for her?
Unfortunately I just tested her DAO lc380 and it doesn't reset on a fail to fire... So I'd have to teach her to manually pull the slide back 1/2 an inch to reset the trigger.
My taurus 709 is looking better all the time.
