Rucker61 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Is there any reason not to use Federal primers in a CGW molded SP-01? My local store has a couple of thousand I can pick up. I am just getting started in pistol reloading so I don't have a load worked up yet, but I want to grab primers while they're still available. Other options are CCI and Winchester. Rounds will be loaded on a Dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MoreChains Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 No reason that I can think of. Federals are thought to be the softest, thus you can use the ligher (8.5 lb) hammer springs that might otherwise give lite strikes on a harder brand of primer (i.e. CCI). Personally I'm happy with a 11.5 lb hammer spring which allows me to use CCI or Win primers, of which I have quite a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Buy them, especially if using light springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdawgs56 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 FED primers are my favorite. If they're a good price you should stock up! I love having the option of using the lightest of mainsprings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangin Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 But them all. there is not reason not to. Because I use as 8.5 pound mainspring they are the only primers I can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

himurax13 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I typically only buy Federal primers. I buy Winchester if the Federals are out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
