Let me know if you ever end up selling themI have a bunch of CCI #41 that I bought way back when I thought I wanted to load for my AR15. But ammo was so cheap so I just bought a ton of it and have about 10k primers. Didn't know Winchester made them too. Supposed to prevent slamfire in AR. So I have a lot of CCI#41, probably a lifetimes worth. Better more than less I guess.
Yep....but it is becoming painfully clear that saving the primers and/or using them for full power loads are now worth the "extra" effort these days.
.357 mag or .357 maximum with some powders.Anyone know what round uses small pistol magnum primers?

I use smoke's powder. I have carolina blue, black, orange brown, telemagenta, sulfur yellow, and yellow green. So far I've had trouble with yellow not covering well on my first batch but I increased the amount of powder used and it come out good.

I've only ordered 1/3 pound packs from smoke. Out of the 1/3 pound bags I have not fully used one up or even hardly made a dent in it. I think I've used light blue more than anything and ice coated several thousand rounds with it. I don't think skimping is really worth it. I've calculated the cost per round of powder coat somewhere around $0.00001 per bullet, give or take a zero in there.Thanks rp-
My problem, I think, is that I’m cheap and was scrimping on power!
If our range ever opens back up I might make an attempt to shoot up some of them so I’ll have an excuse to cast/PC some more.
Any small pistol caliber can use a magnum primer.
If that is all you have, then you as the reloader must adjust the load at the bench to account for the additional 15- 20 fps they typically produce. A good rule of thumb for magnum primers roughly equates to around 10% more powder charge for most powders.
Magnum primers were designed to provide better ignition in large volume cases like .357, etc. Do your due diligence and work up a load that suits your firearm. Check for accuracy and watch for pressure signs. There are not too many reloaders out there that don't do this already.
Nice find.I don’t use them and have plenty of the others. But I bought some stuff at an estate sale and there were mag primers in that stuff.
I've never use magnum primers in my 357's. The Lee manual just calls for SP primers, and that's what I stuck with.I don’t use them and have plenty of the others. But I bought some stuff at an estate sale and there were mag primers in that stuff.
Try them with Trailboss... they work great.I've never use magnum primers in my 357's. The Lee manual just calls for SP primers, and that's what I stuck with.
