    I posted this several years back...

    It has been said that the WSPM primers are the same cup as the WSPP...That being said, if the SPP will seal the cup, then the SPMP will seal as well. There was a thread on primers on here not long ago, and somoeone actually corresponded with several of the primer manufacturers and got the cup hardness of quite a few of the different types. The only difference (IIRC) between the WSPP and the WSPMP was the heat of the flame...

    Large Handgun Magnum .020" cup thickness

    CCI 350

    Federal 155

    Wolf Large Pistol Magnum LPM - brass cup

    Small Rifle Standard

    CCI 400 -thin .020" cup, not recommended for AR15 use by CCI/Speer. Good for .22 Hornet, .30 Carbine. See Note 1 at the bottom of the page

    CCI BR4 - match primer with a thicker .025" cup.

    Federal 205 - Mil-Spec cup thickness according to Federal - okay for 5.56mm. .0225" cup thickness.

    Federal 205M - same as the 205 but the match version.

    Magtech PR-SR - .025" cup thickness (not much feedback yet on this new primer as to AR15 suitability but with the same cup thickness as the Rem 7 1/2 it looks good so far)

    Remington 6 ½ - thin .020" cup, intended for older, lower pressure rounds Remington says do not use for the .223 Rem or other similar pressure rounds. Good for .22 Hornet, .30 Carbine.

    Remington 7 ½ BR - A match or "bench rest" primer. Lyman & Nosler classify this primer as a Standard. Remington says the compound is the same as the 6 1/2 but with a thicker .025" cup.

    RWS 4033

    Winchester WSR - some piercing issues noted when changed from silver to brass cup. Cup thickness is a bit thinner at .021". Most say they are good to go for the AR15 despite that, probably because of the hardness of the cup. Some feel they are less resistant to higher pressures.

    Wolf Small Rifle SR - soft, sensitive copper cup, not recommended for AR15/military rifle use or high pressure rounds.

    Small Rifle Magnum

    CCI 450 - same thicker .025" cup as the BR4 and #41.

    CCI #41 - commercial version of the fully-qualified DOD primer for use in U.S. military ammo. With this primer there is more 'distance' between the tip of the anvil and the bottom of the cup than with other CCI SR primers. .025" thick cup. Same primer mix as CCI 450.

    Remington 7 ½ BR - A match or "bench rest" primer. Hornady, Handloads.com, and Chuck Hawks classify this primer as a Magnum, differing from other sources that classify it as a Standard. .025" cup thickness.

    Wolf Small Rifle Magnum SRM - hard, less sensitive brass cup intended for AR15/military rifle and high pressure rounds.

    Wolf Small Rifle 223 SR223 - "This is the newest primer available in the Wolf line. It is ever so slightly hotter than the small rifle magnum primer and it comes with a brass colored thick cup. This primer can be used in place of the SRMprimer or used when a different powder is used that is hard to ignite."

    Large Rifle Standard

    CCI 200 - mild in brisance. Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.

    CCI BR2 - same as the 200 but the match version. Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.

    Federal 210 - medium brisance between CCI/Remington & Winchester. Do not use in semi-automatics.

    Federal 210M - match version of the above primer. Do not use in semi-automatics.

    Magtech PR-LR

    Remington 9 ½ - mild in brisance.

    RWS 5341

    Winchester WLR - the hottest standard primer. Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.

    Wolf Large Rifle LR - all brass - Used by noted match shooter David Tubbs who says: "Be sure they are seated into the case - if not they can be hard to ignite. Russian primers use a different sinoxide compound (closer to the European type), which, in my testing, consistently delivers better extreme spreads over Federal..." Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.

    Large Rifle Magnum

    CCI 250

    CCI #34 - commercial version of the fully-qualified DOD primer for use in U.S. military ammo.

    Federal 215 - original magnum primer

    Remington 9 ½ M - mildest magnum primer.

    RWS 5333

    Winchester WLRM

    Wolf Large Rifle Magnum LRM - all brass

    50 BMG

    Federal 205, 205M

    Remington 7 1/2 BR (good with ball powder)

    Winchester WSR (good with ball powder)

    Wolf SRM (good with ball powder)

    NOTE 1: According to Speer/CCI Technical Services - Both the CCI 550 Small Pistol Magnum and CCI 400 Small Rifleprimers are identical in size. Both primers use the same cup metal and share the same cup thickness. Both primers use the same primer compound formula and same amount of primer compound. They can be used interchangeably.

    that single action looks short for a SP-01.. nice I couldn't get mine that far back.. damn good job.

    I actually took a little off the sear, off the 'foot' of the FPB lifter and the trigger bar where it picks up the lifter to get it that short.

    On my SP 01 I machined the ledge on the firing pin that catches the FPB down to .018 thick so that the FPB needs less travel to clear it, then shortened the foot on the lifter to remove the excess travel. Makes the reset pretty sweet.

    Czhase, by chance do you have a photo or illustration of where exactly you machined the ledge? And when you refer to the "foot" of the fpb lever, are you referring to the part which interacts with the trigger bar or the part of the lever which interacts with the block itself (the part residing in the slide)?

    Ok, so I'm starting to shop trigger upgrade parts for a stock SP-01 non-Shadow with FPB, manual safety and night sights. I called David at CGW the other morning to chat briefly about a parts list. He seemed a bit pre-occupied, mumbled something about getting 40 calls a day about this topic and told me to just buy his defensive carry package part #75110. When looking at the parts list pictures, since the written description doesn't specify the exact parts included, I wanted to verify this package would have everything I need for this tuneup. Any guidance from the field on suitability/completeness of the 75100 package? Would I need to add anything else when placing the order?

    Thanks!

    Compact 9mm 1911 ?

    Just received a DW Valor V-Bob in 9MM that I had Keith make for me to match the one I have in .45. Rumor is that DW will have this in the 2016 catalog. Just starting to break it in, put the 1st set of rounds through it on Friday and it is an awesome shooting and handling gun. Of course, it is a 4.25" as PalmBeach1 says.

    Is that a "for sure" thing re: DW offering this in a 9? Would be sweet!
