Have had no luck lately in finding small pistol primers and have about 3k .40 S&W to reload. I have small pistol magnum primers and have been trying to get some more definitive answers about whether I can use these to reload .40 S&W or not.
In searching for info on this about all I find is that it can be done, with caution, and that with the pressure increase from the magnum primer that loads should be backed off. Other than starting at start load levels there isn't much that I have found more definitive.
Anyone have any words of wisdom (or want to trade 1k small pistol magnum primers for small pistol)?
Thanks in advance,
Carl
