I just use the RCBS hand priming tool. I don't honestly know how one brand of primers differs from another. I am not choosy so I'll use whatever I can . I use a primer pocket uniformer and cleaning tool, so they all should seat OK. |

Well my order from 4/22 still has not shown up so I broke down and bought 1k of the Magtech small pistol primers today at Cabelas in Rodgers. I sure hope my Lee Pro likes them ![]() PS They still had about 2k left as of about noon today. |

Last saturday, they were only allowing one to buy 300 at a time, and that was for nearly 5 dollars a hundred....... |

I saw a little sign saying only 1 per customer but when the guy asked me how many I want I said as many as I can have. He gave me the whole box and said I would save money if I bought the whole thing, $29.99 at the register. He mumbled something about not limiting these ones but I didn't want to ask a lot of questions at that point ![]() |

I haven't had any issues with the Magtech SP primers Cabela's coughed up for me last month. |

I loaded about 30 with Magtech primers and went to the range yesterday and had a real problem with these rounds in my XD. The firing pin was hitting the primer with no ignition. I threw in a couple clips of factory rounds and no problems. Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this? PS I will post pics when I get home tonight. |

The first strike of the firing pin will seat the primer properly and the second will allow the anvil inside to do its job. |

Old age kicking in. ![]() I edited out my post because it doesnt apply. Andrew - Thanks for the advice on the magnum primers. |

Using magnum primers in the place of regular ones can be dangerous, and is not recommended. |
