Hi all, I'm in Edina and heading to Woodbury today. Anyone have a suggestion where I might locate small pistol primers? I purchased 1000 Small Pistol Magnum from Frontier last week but I only load .38 sp & 9 mm SMP and I'm concerned about using magnums for regular target ammo..

I'm fairly new to reloading so any advice is appreciated

If you have Federal Small Pistol Magnum primers, I will trade you for Federal Small Pistol primers.

I have run over 20,000 Wolf/Tula primers in the last 3 years, nary a prob with Spp and Lpp --just sayin, maybe it could be your gun:)

Most failures to fire are probably caused by light hits rather than bad primers. I had no problem with the Tula Large pistol primers, but several of the small pistol primers never went off, even after repeated hits from multiple firearms that never had a problem before or since.
