[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3388237, member: 24867"] One additional question. What are your opinions on using magnum primers in 9mm? I watched a video from David at Precision Bullets saying he recommends the magnum primers with his bullets. On the other side of the coin, I read a few opinions and 1 article online talking about wearing out the breach face when using magnum primers in 9mm. This obviously will coincide with the power load being used, and possibly slightly reducing the powder charge if you'd want to run magnum primers. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd very much appreciate your thoughts. I only say this because I have a 1000 brick of small pistol magnum primers, but don't know if I can apply them to my 9mm loads. I feels like I'm going to rip the space-time continuum if I use them in some 9's! I'm leaning on the side of NO, but if there is a way to do it safely I'd be interested in learning. If it wasn't for David at PB's video, I would've never considered it. David just says that he's sees his best test results from magnum primers. That's very specific to each individuals gun and load, and may not work for me. I'm really after any info that would give me the knowledge to build safe loads with magnum primers and work my way up if need be.
