Federal 205s in M&Ps?

[revchuck]

I've got a case of Federal 205s that I bought several years ago and haven't used. I'm about out of small pistol primers. Would the 205s work in unmodified M&Ps? The loads would be 9x19 minor and .40 S&W major. Thanks!

As long as it's a small pistol primer, you should be fine.

Unless I'm mistaken, a Federal 205 is a small rifle primer. They will work quite well, if your gun will ignite them 100%. I'd think a stock revolver would but don't know what you are running.

The two cases (10,000) I've used worked fine.

Stock striker spring in the gun

Apex trigger parts

no adverse effects to the breech face

wsf powder and 125 HAP's and MG's
