Small Pistol Primers = Small Rifle Primers?

[810wmb]

:?:

true or false?

it seems like i have read this somewhere. wolf brand, would be loading 9mm.

 

[WIL TERRY]

FALSE !!!

IF they were they would not have different names.

thank you sir..

i could have sworn i read this here at some point. either about the small or large primers.

anyway, thanks!

The primer cup is thicker in a rifle primer 810wmb.

This would require a hammer that hits harder.

I'm not a big fan of the rifle/handgun primer substitution, but the magnum/standard argument has some standing in certain situations. Situations of caliber, powder type, and load amount can be factors in the magnum/standard argument.

maybe this was what i was remembering...

I have information, and have personally witnessed Wolf Small Rifle primers causing ignition difficulties in handgun cartridges, including (mostly) 9mm.

But not with Wolf Small Pistol; they seem fine.

(No, I don't own any, because I still have a 'few' of other brands.)

The small rifle primers also sit a little higher (taller cup).

 

[GP100man]

all small primers are the same size , large rifle require a deeper pocket than large pistol.

Sp primers are softer & somewhat weaker than Small Rifle.

GP100man has the scoop.
