RudyVey Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 To be on the safe side, I ordered some on Monday night, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeinctown Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 LOL, I was all set to stop and get powder and primers after work yesterday, but it was not needed. Hopefully we'll see prices continue to slide. Some powders local are $130/8lbs. Primers are still $30/k- $35/k though. I still have SP CCI primers from a sale last year where they were $22/k.

jrswanson1 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Bumping this, cuz I found 1000 Federal Match SPPs at the gun show Saturday for $33. Couldn't find non-Match small pistol primers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kells81 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I have been running into Fed small pistol match primers at Cabelas the last few weeks. Not a lot but enough to stroll through the isle when I'm there just to see. Something like 4/5 trips in the last 2 weeks I have left with Fed SP match primer bricks.

Just4FunLP Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I need to buy 10,000 winchester small pistol primers for practice. I've got enough Federal to use for matches for a while, but I hate to start using them for practice. I haven't been in the market for a while, but haven't seen squat in the last week. How long has this been going on? Any suggestions? I'm watching GunBot, MidSouth, and Powder Valley. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aandabooks Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Went to a small gun show today. Not a Fed primer in any variety in the place but did buy a couple cases of Win SP for $155 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDA Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I'd be fixing the gun if it only ran reliably on one specific brand of primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 For practice I have been using the S&B primers exclusively. At $20-24 per 1000 they are hard to beat, and work very well. Their additional benefit - buy them at your local Cabella's, no shipping, no haz mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about the gun, it is about the mainspring. The Shadow I have will run reliably on anything with the 13lb, but it has the 11 in it now which will run Winchester and Federal. The person I bought it from let me know it will run Federal only if I wanted to go down to the 8 pound spring for decreased DA pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load them deep - if you don't see a dimple, not deep enough. I load 9 mixed brass at .008-.010" Unless that pocket was reamed, I can't see how to force a primer that deep. I've loaded with a hand priming tool and can't get it that deep. Federal primers are sensitive and I'd be looking for some blown tubes on my Dillon 650 if I tried to force it. BTW,If you are an old school revolver guy, can you explain to most of us people your technique? I have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW,If you are an old school revolver guy, can you explain to most of us people your technique? I have the time. I haven't measured, but looking at his pics my RCBS bench mounted can push them very near if not that far with ease, it presses very evenly and just flattens them no dimple. However, even with a lightened striker spring it's not necessary so far as I can tell. Never had an issue with any I knew were below flush, did have issues when I just ran rounds off and didn't do any inspection at all... my LnL's primer seating is not the most consistent. WSPs are pretty much all I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Thanks Beef for taking the time to explain.. I've never used your setup. I have a small Lee press that is bench mounted to use a bullet puller. I'll try using it to prime a few cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powder Finger Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I don't see how anything past the cup and anvil being seated can do anything but harm.....maybe in your face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmantwo Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I would think spps would be available by now. Surely you all have enough?? I've been looking for Federals for months now and no luck. I could use Winchester, but I differentiate minor/major loads by using Federal for minor and Winchester for major. That way if I find any loose unknown loads, if the primer is silver it's minor, primer is gold I know it's major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
