Small pistol primers

[riderv700]

Looking for small pistol primers.Have reloaded from years ago and have what i need but i have bought a .357 Sig a few years ago along with some 1000 once fired brass. I have around 400 small pistol primers left from yrs ago and now it seems they are scarce as hens teeth at a reasonable price. I have 500 count of CCi small rifle primers i would be willing to swap out right for small pistol primers of same count or i will purchase same amount. Let me hear from you fellows that would be interested if you have some extra small pistol primers
would be nice if you could let go of some. POGO i hope this is general discussion.

Small rifle primers are the same as Small pistol magnum primers if that helps you. The dirty secret is only the packaging is different. The exception are the hardened "military spec" small rifle primers which have a thicker cup. Check out this thread and Google it.

I am stuffing the last of my small pistol primers in the newly sized & tumbled 9mm & .40 cal ammo to complete my ammo supply. I didn't have the fore thought to buy in 5K case lots for some reason.

Thank you for that info, as I do have lots of small rifle primers.

I know that this is an old post, but I wanted to comment that this information is NOT true and if operating anywhere near pressure limits one should start over and rework the load…just as you should if changing brands of primers. There are all sorts of internet rumors that tend to agree with the statement, but call any of the primer companies and they will tell you otherwise. There are also those that have tested the theory with the same powder and charge, brass, projectile, and varied the primer and experienced different velocity, as well as punctured primers at a lower velocity with pistol primers vs rifle primers. Ultimately, different mixture and different cup.
