bradandash925 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I just realized I put small rifle primers in 100 rounds of 40 S&W. Do you guys think this will be a huge problem or do you think I can just let it ride. Here is what I have: OAL 1.115-1.120 Bullet-165 gr TMJ Powder Blue Dot-8.6gr Primer- Winchester Small Rifle If anyone has ever done this your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

PleikuPioneer Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I use them all the time for over 2000 rounds, never have had a problem. Also, cuts down on the variety of primers I have to keep on hand as I also load 223. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightUp_OG Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) You're fine as far as the primer is concerned. I also use SRP all the time. Let it ride! As far as the powder? I don't use Blue Dot so I can't speak to that. Edited March 18, 2014 by StraightUp_OG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Load them interchangeably with SM pistol MAG, and use them all the time as they are easier to get in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AICS308 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Unless you are using a Glock with an aftermarket trigger set for lighter pull. If so stick with SP. Yes, this I learned the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have almost the same load - very close actually. It shoots and feels well in my G35 but the flash is a little much. BlueDot burns a little too slow for the .40 but it doesnt affect the action of the gun or the accuracy. It's a little dirty as well but if its all you've got it will work fine. I've shot ver a 1000 rds in this recipe. OAL 1.125 Bullet-165 gr Rainier FP Powder Blue Dot-8.5gr Primer- Winchester Small Rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradandash925 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 That's good to know. My OAL is a little shorter but it seems to be a fairly decent load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
