Comments on difference in primers for 38 Super Comp

[Idoktr]

Any difference in primer function between Magnum pistol primer and Small rifle primer. If so, what?

Thanks

I use SRP, SPMag and SPP depends what I can get

Power Factor doesn't seem to change more than a point so I don't concern myself with it

I keep a stash of Fed SRP for larger matches

Club/Local matches I shoot whatever I've got on hand

When it all finally gets back to some semblance of normal I'll use Fed SRP all the time

Just internet hearsay, but it makes sense: http://thefiringline.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-417220.html

i shoot both srp and spp in a variety of handguns and have never had a problem with any auto loader

the but is I don't put the super light striker spring in m&p's and glocks.

All my 1911's have 17lbs main springs in them to help with lock time speed and ignition

AFAIK, Everything works in my open gun. yes there are variations between the types and brands. If it goes boom I use it.

I stay away from super hard primers like Wolf and Magtech. YMMV.

I currently run CCI Small Rifle Magnum with no issues.

I find small pistol magnums are a little bit hotter than small rifle...very minimal..

I get more consistent velocities with small pistol mag primers. I assume they are burning all of the powder.

I haven't tried small rifel mag yet. I would expect similar results.
