Small pistol primer substitution

Recommended Posts

Well I have officially completely run out of CCI small pistol primers. :angry2:

My local shop has Federal and Remington small pistol in stock. Which of those two would you guys recommend?

Federal are very popular with the guys I shoot with. Ive been happy with Winchester and havent had to break open my Federal yet.

The Federals are a bit soft and if you've been using CCIs you shouldn't have a problem with just about any other primer. I've not had problems with either, but if you don't have to worry about pressures the Federals will be just fine.

I've been using Winchester small pistol primers for my Titegroup 180gr Montana Gold recipe for my Glock 35, 23 and Sig P229 for years. I love it and guess what, friends...I'm out of WSP primers!

What would you guys suggest that would involve the least headaches and recipe changes (if I was able to get them) CCI? Federal? The people at Powder Valley say that Wolfe SP primers are "orderable" but admit there have been problems with their size.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance,

Hey, BTW, when is this insanity going to end ?!?!?!

I doubt you'll have to change the recipe with Win, FED, or Rem..(or wolf and cci if your gun will set them off).

Hey, BTW,.. never
