Remington SPP

Is there a reason that nobody seems to use remington small pistol primers? I am sitting on a few k of them and they are all I can find consistently. Brand new to reloading so even "common knowledge" is new to me.

Thanks!

I starting using them because it was all I could find at the time. They have been great, I've run a couple of thousand without a hitch in my XD 40.

Out of 20K I got a batch of 10K that were almost to long. They were in spec but man was it tough seating them so I didn't have high primers. I was glad to see them go and Remmington did nothing to help me. I even sent some in to them. I much prefer Federal and CCI.

Overall I thought they were fine.

I had 2 dead primers out of 5k. They had very good strikes and I re chambered them and hit them multiple times, but they still wouldn't go. Luckily it didn't happen during a match.

Horrific spread in standard deviation with them. Most inconsistant primer I ever tried. I don't like having one at 166pf and the next one at 172pf with weighed powder charges.

Picked up a thousand because they were available at the local bass pro shop. Had two failure to fire with multiple strikes. First time I have had this type of failure in over 20 years with any brand of primer. I am looking at the remainder of the batch to be used as practice ammo at best.

I wonder if this could be attributed to new people learning the job due to increased demand?

I've had similar experiences with Remington SPP. Of 500 used I had one fail to fire (in an XD9). Tried twice. I bought 3k. I'll use these for practice only. Remington was all the store had in stock.
