Favorite large pistol primer caliber / gun?

**Ron3** · 04-09-21, 19:53

New to reloading, scored a few bricks of large pistol primers.

They are slightly less rare than very rare SPP's currently.

What do you load with LPP's?

Never really had any issues with any of them ! If I bought Local most were Winchester, if online whatever was available & cheap !! Many Moons ago Wolf Primers were $14 bucks per 1K,,I burned a lot of those bad boys up ! In this day and age don't be fussy, get what ya can,LOL !! I will say many competitors like Federal cuz there cup is a tad softer/thinner than most I believe. Be glad ya found some & didn't have to refinance your House !

I always used Standard LPP for 45ACP & Mag primers for 44 mag.

I have .45 acp ammo but its S&B and I read reports of them having very tight or shallow primer pockets making the less desirable to reload.

Family member has 10mm but its alluminum case.

I have .44 Russian and .44 Special ammo / cases.

.50 AE...now there is cartridge to save money reloading. (Even more than .44's and .45 Colt)

I have loaded S&B cases,9mm I believe & yes I think the primer pocket is a little tight, seems like I mite clean them up a little with my primer pocket uniform tool. I have shot close to 20K of S&B small pistol primers with 0 issues or misfires, wish I had more!

I have one of those tool (Lee) but haven't taken it out of the package yet.

So, it can be used to open the pocket a tiny bit? What if a shallow pocket is the issue?
