The rounds with the medium loads were essentially the same. 1109 FPS for the magnum primer vs 1111 standard - within 0.2%. The range and standard deviation were also the same.
That's with Bullseye. The results might vary with another powder. But Neill and I both plan to use Bullseye for our 9mm, so I consider these primers to be a drop-in replacement.

So I bought the 7,000 primers. The guy had some other stuff for sale, and he sold me a carton full of self-defense ammo, 21 boxes, for $100. Mostly Hydra-Shoks and Black Talons. Half of it is 10mm, I guess I need to buy another gun now. :D
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to scruff again.
You done good...

I dunno.. Now he's gone and cluttered up that awesome workbench :D
Re: What did you reload today?
Black Talon's aren't legal. Just sayn'.:rolleyes:
:p
Re: What did you reload today?
I sized and trimmed 51 .300 winmags.
Tikka scope rail is due in 3 days.
Got a box each of Berger VLDs in 185 and 190.
Got 5 pounds of H hybrid 100V to work a new load since my 8 pound jug of IMR4350 is on backorder now
Re: What did you reload today?
Damn, I need time to get my setup setup... That's all I have to report.
Re: What did you reload today?
I didn't not reload anything.

What you over-paid on the primers you made up on the ammo. Nicely done.
I got 3k SPP and 2k LRP today for free so today was a good day. They're from the early or mid 90's but the gifter said they were properly stored. I will be cautious regardless.

Congrats on the primers! And I don't think I overpaid. I'm thinking we have another 2 years to go on this shortage, and guys will be wishing for $100 primers soon. I may go back and buy the other 3,000. I'll bet I can cover it just by flipping the Black Talons!
Drastic times call for drastic measures. There will be a lot of guys sitting at home with no ammo to shoot.
Re: What did you reload today?
This is true. *Over-pay* is a term that is relevant to each individual, because everyone must determine what primers are worth to them. I may agree that $100 is a smokin deal on 1000 primers in a year. It certainly is right now based on gunbroker pricing. I have enough primers for a couple years of shooting, then I will be back in the race!
