Just to elaborate on what knowledge I have gathered small pistol magnums are almost exactly a reg small rifle as far as cup thickness and most all small primers do not differ on their charge it all has to do with what pressure they can withstand from the load....small pistol magnums for example are made thicker inside to withstand higher pressures from magnum loads....so while I have had no bad experience using heavier primers in lighter loads I try to not reverse the concept....example being I wouldn't use a standard small pistol primer in a small rifle cartridge that had a lot higher case pressure than most small pistols...if I had to I'd use a magnum pistol primer and be careful working up the load.....but as far as using magnums and rifles in pistol cartridges, basically as long as it will set it off you are good.....

This really destroys the old rumors I've always heard.

I inadvertently loaded a few hundred rounds with small rifle primers last year and when I realized my mistake I was concerned about firing them. I spoke to a few knowledgeable people and they said said it was ok and not to worry. No one could tell me why though. Now I understand.

I believe Rifle primers are 0.005" longer than Pistol primers... so you may need to seat them a little harder to be flush. At least this is what I found when measuring Large Pistol and Rifle primers. I did not measure the 'small' rifle/pistol primers.

What about this one I’ve seen doing the rounds, just wondering what your thoughts are about these guys that are using cap gun powder & even the old normal strike anywhere match head scrapings to then “reuse” the ammo, case /primer & bullet. I must admit to flinching on his first shots and I wasted even there. I don’t want an argument about this, I just want to start a conversation on this issue, I personally would only use this as a extremely last resort kinda thing but I must admit that they seemed just as good as the normal stuff but would in no way want to have to rely on them. Especially if I had them a week or two. . Thanks 😊

You win the KZread video of the year award. I've been staring at several thousand wolf small rifle primers in my reloading room for the last 6 months. I spoke with a customer service rep for one of the powder manufacturers and asked if I could substitute Magnum or rifle primers in my 9 mm loads. I thought he was going to jump through the phone. He said it wasn't safe.I've used small pistol Magnums in my 9-mill loads before without issue. I was reluctant to use the small rifle primers. I strongly recommend anyone doing this and using a Glock pistol install one of the wolf extra power firing pin springs. It is a 6 lb spring compared to the factory 5.5 lb. It does not increase trigger pull much at all. It provided 100% reliable ignition with my Magnum primers. I had about 10% fail to fire when I used the factory spring in a Gen 5 Glock 19. Thanks again for putting out a useful video with actual pressure test data. No one else has done this

Thank you. I’ve been looking for this kind of information. Why this doesn’t show up higher in search results baffles me. Just wish I’d been able to find this video sooner.

Thanks big time for the video we already knew small P and small R interchange, but weren't sure to try put small R primers in 9mm cases. AWESOME !!!

great work.. I think this pretty much concludes that primers don't have an impact on the case pressure, at least in pistol. As long as the primer properly burns all the powder in the case, the pressure or muzzle velocity should be consistent throughout different types of primers.

Excellent video, answers a lot of questions…thank you sir!!

Thank you Super Vel !! This video is exactly what all reloaders have been wanting to know. I will definitely keep this in mind when buying ammo. I didn't even know people could send primers to Super Vel to have ammo loaded. That is spectacular! Thanks again for info that is actually backed up by real data!!!

Thanks again, its amazing I am always learning.

Thank you for answering this question with real data, not opinion like so many others.

Thank you, I was considering using rifle primers in my 9mm. just like the 38 super guys. But I didn't know who to ask for advise. I will sub.

1 lab test is worth 1000 expert opinions!

This is the best video I've seen all day, thank you so much for sharing this. I have passed by small rifle primers several times thinking them unsuitable for 9mm. Oh well, I won't make that mistake again! On a side note, I learned that it is not wise to (mistakenly) use large pistol primers in place of large rifle primers. Remington packaging looks similar for both, D'Oh! I caught myself after 20 rounds, thankfully. I took a chance and fired them (7x57 Mauser loads, loaded below maximum in the Speer manual). Most were okay, but a couple had minor piercing. I was lucky as well as stupid. After rooting around on the internet I found others that had worse luck than I did with pierced primers on different calibers. The takeaway lesson is to carefully double check ALL of your components and charge weights before proceeding. A kinetic bullet puller is also a sound investment. Great video, thank you!

Thanks so much for this info. I bought a box of 1000 small pistol magnum when that's all that was left. Thanks for the peace of mind.

Thanks so much for this great informative video on an important safety factor of primer use and applications. Recently I used some old CCI Small Rifle Primers in 45 APC equipped with the SP primer pockets. Chronograph showed appx. 2-3.5 FPS faster speeds, but no pressure signs at all, using IMR 700X powder. I use a Frankford Arsenal hand held primer installation tool, equipped with adjustable primer depth setting. I set all of my primers @ .002"-.003" below the surface or past flush. When I measured the primers, both the SR and SP are exactly the same dimensions in depth and diameter, where the LR are different that the LP. Again; thanks to your video with specifications and excellent testing, I am comfortable to have checked my use of the SR primer in my 45s.

Thank you for your clear and concise work on this. As a new reloader it's helpful to see and now I am curious to try myself and run some loads through my chrono. Thanks for the inspiration to nerd out on more details haha

Thank you for your testing. From experience, the S&W M&P and the SCCY 9mm pistols have a hard time firing the small rifle due to the light strikes. Most others seem to fire it well. .380's loaded with 50-60 year old CCI SPM's from a Ruger LCP also functioned well.

Good test! Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant! I have been wondering about this. Now I can start reloading 9mm again.

Thanks so much for cutting to the chase with true scientific data. The numbers don't lie. A chronograph is something most have access to but your Test Barrel and pressure data is the definitive analysis that we are all seeking. You rock! Just bought a Brick of Federal 200 Small Magnum Pistol Primers to feed my 9mm pistol, carbine, and .38 Special EDC. Yes, Sportsmans had five bricks under the counter today. I got lucky. 44 guys at the front door at the opening.

So happy for this info- wow you are well equipped having your own pressure reading device - supper cool. Keep up the good work

Awesome. Never had actual proof positive for the primers as shown- so never tried it... now can see its a doable thing. Thank you. By the way - Super Vel is is nice to see- again!
