Remington 6 1/2

[hrdstmax]

I have 2k Remington 6 1/2 small rifle primers that I ordered and have no use for. Anyone have any experience using these on 9mm loads? I mostly use titegroup and bullseye 115gr and 124gr. Thanks

Small rifle is all I use on all of my small primer pistols. Don't need to inventory small pistol and small rifle and take a chance of getting small pistol in my rifle. Have not had any problems. Good luck.

How much if any would you say you decrease your loads to account for the rifle primers? Thanks

If you do some research you will find that Rem 6.5's are a SR primer cup but with a smaller amount of priming compound. These are intended specifically for small cased caliber's like .22 Hornet. If you read the fine print on the box you will see that they are not even supposed to be used to load .223. In your case loading these for pistol rounds you may find that these don't affect things as much as a regular rifle primer with more priming compound.

That's what I found out (after I bought them)... I bought them last year during the shortage for my .223 and 300blk loads and didn't get to use any of them due to the fine print. Now I am looking to re purpose them for my 9mm loads.. Thanks for the advice.

6.5's are very soft small rifle primers. Don't use them in a semi auto rifle. I should think that they will be fine in a pistol. I have shot all kinds of SR primers without issue in a Glock so they should be fine.

Thanks for all the input guys...
