I did a quick search and could not find any Info through the search function. I cannot find any normal small pistol Primers. I purchased some Small Pistol Magnum primers and plan to run some batches of ammo using that. Practice ammo mostly. I was planning on dropping about 0.2 grains from my current 9mm load and work up. Was wondering if anyone else has done this and what to expect. Thank you in advance. I wouldn’t change the drop at all. Won’t be a real difference. I load for Open guns and have chronoed with small rifle and small pistol. No change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have chronoed the different primers and never noticed a significant difference. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a slightly thicker cup and (may) require a harder hitting firing pin/hammer spring to fire them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've chronoed the exact load with regular SPP and mag SPP and only see around 1 PF increase and sometimes not even that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 To rehash what others have said regarding magnum primers, no real difference. I used Federal smpp as they were cheaper than the regular ones for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flycaster Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Does anyone remember back in the Obama days? He closed the country's largest lead smelting facility. Could that have caused a permanent long range shortage? Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered Monday and they were delivered Thursday. One of the fastest shipments ever from Montana Gold. If you don’t see your preferred bullet in stock just call and talk to them. When they were showing out of my bullets they just said they were swamped and had them in stock but didn’t have time to update inventory. My last order came two weeks ago and the label on the box said made on 11/19 so they seem to have plenty stashed away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJmorgan Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Wanted to try 135g for 9mm. April 26th placed small orders (2K) with J-Ames, RMR & Blue. J-Ames arrived yesterday, May 11th. So if anyone desperately needs bullets, it seems that J-Ames makes them as the orders come in. I expect RMR & Blue to arrive later this summer. jamesbullets.com order process is different; submit order, wait for email invoice. Mail a check. Wait for email confirming check rec'd in mail. 1 week later, bullets arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyZip Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 On 4/19/2020 at 12:05 PM, RangerTrace said: I wish I could afford three years worth of components. I probably have enough brass........ I usually take a large amount of any overtime I get paid for or tax return and buy two cases of primers and 16# of powder. I then buy Everglades brass 3500 every three months and the same for bullets overlapping a pay period. Only way I can afford to shoot is buying components in bulk but staggered so that m not buying all the components simultaneously. Spreading the cost out is better for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
