Remington Small Rifle Primers In Mm Major

The one and only time I used them in my .38 Super, I was getting MAJOR gas leaking around the primer and after the first pit in my breechface, pulled that ammo out of the bag and will never try them again.

Glad you posted this.

Breach face pitting is caused by gas leaking around the primer.

Usual cause is the use of magnum or rifles primers where they are not called for (specifically, never use those for a Minor load). I have also seen it with the super hard CCI primers.

NEVER had a problem with WSR's. I use them on my .38 Super, .40 and .223. While I don't NEED them in the super or the 40, it's just easier to buy 3-4 sleeves of them at a time and load all the calibers the same.
