Quick Question

[xracer]

I've been loading Powerbond 124gr plated with 4.2Gr of Titegroup and Winchester small pistol primers at 1.140OAL and they shoot fine, not too hot... Due to the recent shortage of supplies I bought 500 Winchester "Small pistol for Magnum Pistol loads" primers. How much of an impact will this have on the current load? I'm planning on loading a few up and taking them too the range but thought I'd get some feedback here first.

You might see a small increase in velocity. Pressure might also go up slightly. It will depend on how Titegroup reacts.

A comparison of pistol primers can be found at the link below.

It will most likely bump velocity and pressure up a little. But you are loading a fairly light load so it won't cause any hazards. You most likely won't be able to tell one load from the other.

Thanks guys, sounds like it shouldn't be a problem. I kinda figured (Hoped since I already bought them) that would be the case since I'm not loading a really hot load.
