warpspeed Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 not trying to talk you out of them, but do a search on "breach face erosion" and you will find some people have issues with rifle primers in pistol loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looking4reloadingdeals Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 not trying to talk you out of them, but do a search on "breach face erosion" and you will find some people have issues with rifle primers in pistol loads. I had this problem with some really old Tula pistol primers in my Glock 34. In the end it cost me $250 for Glock to replace my entire gun (since it wasn’t made in the US they didn’t have replace parts they could send me or something and needed to replace the whole thing). After that I have always stuck to what is suggested and reputable brands. Ie. I only run CCI any more. The $80 I saved by buying 10k Tula SPP ended up costing me $250, 5 hours at the bench pulling 1500 rounds to remove primers, and in the end about 2-3k lost primers.

ar15rick Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The CCI Small rifle primers are the only ones I have used with my 38 SC and my 9mm Major. They are great and I have never had any issues with them. My 38 SC is shooting at 1500FPS since I am using 115 gr bullets with 12.0 grains of AA#7.

ar15rick Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Either you went full auto or have the fastest splits i've ever heardLol no full auto it was my finger. They were close up targets so I just let it rip. It also helps when I have 1.5lbs trigger. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoeShooting Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 So i bought 9k of what i thought were CCI small rifle. put them in the bag, brought them home and put them in the flammables cabinet without looking at them. I finally ran out of primers so i go to grab my cci small rifle today, and it turns out they are cci small rifle magnum. My question is will they still work with 38 sc?

AHI Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) they could but probably not depends on what powder you use etc. Edited March 30, 2020 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillywig Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My load development testing never has shown a noticeable velocity difference between magnum and standard primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I use Tula small rifle magnum primers in 9mm, .45ACP and .223/5.56 and have had no problems with them. I bought a very large amount years ago, they aren't available now. Never had a problem with ignition but only use them in 1911s and the AR. I use Australian Clays in the 9mm and .45 (had a large amount of it also - not available now). Only problem is if you use something that produces light primer strikes, best thing is just to try a few and see if they work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to how much you got them for per thousand? Sent you a PM in case you'd rather not share publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconpilot Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Been shooting Tula, wolf, CCI, small regular and mag primers for years in my pistols, especially my open gun. Never noticed any breech face issues. Back before Obama was elected, buddy and I bought about 100K Tula/Wolfs when they were $19 per thousand..just about out now..which I could still get them..

tomjerry1 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I shoot 38SC Open, load 10.2 gr AA7, Hornady 125 HAP, CCI SPP, Star Line, approx. 1385fps. My personal experience, I didn't see a big difference between SPP or SRP, but if you start about 9 gr, should be a good starting point. I know a lot of folks use SRP, I just don't see the advantages, unless it's all you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
