I am loading 100gr XTP's and Speer Gold Dot's over 6.5 gr's of 800-X and using a standard small pistol primer. I'm running low on the 800-X but have plenty of H110 and 2400 on hand, do you think I would need to switch to a magnum primer for these powders in this cartridge.

I've used both CCI 500's and 550's with H110 and can't tell a difference on target. And I've never pierced a 500. If there is a delta, it may show up over the chronograph (which I haven't tested). -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" |

BRIAN PEARCE IN HIS 327 ARTICLES IN HANDLOADER MAGAZINE USUALLY SUGGESTS NON MAGNUM PRIMERS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIMENTED WITH MAGNUM PRIMERS SO DO NOT HAVE ANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE TO SHARE.

I have played quite a bit with different primers in the 327 this summer and my results have mirrored Brian Pearce's writings. the cases are small enough they just don't need a mag primer to ignite the powder. My issue is I am down to a few hundred standard small pistol primers now and no more are in sight. I have lots of mag primers so I may have to make do but standards are my strong preference for all powders.
HS6, Power Pistol, and AA9 have been my go to powders, AA9 especially has been strong, lower pressure, high velocities and accuracy that H110 and way way less muzzle blast...

For the H110, I would use the magnum primers, 2400 doesn't necessarily need them, but I haven't used 2400 in 327, just H110, I like 13 gr H110 with the 100 gr xtp, #550 cci , and Starline brass, lately 327 is the only cartridge I use H110 with, when it's gone , I won't be buying anymore, I've moved on to #9.

I still use a Federal 200 just because I have so many of them. They load seems to place the bullets real close to each other so I haven't changed up. I'm also a AA9 user in the 327. I also agree that the 327 is a small case for a SPM primer and not really needed, so what do I know.
The only place I've seen any primer issues in the 327 has been when using H110, but that was just flattened primers not blanked primers. It was a hot load and I backed off a few tenths and primers looked normal then.

You know, when I first got my Ruger Bisley .32 H&R Magnum I had quite a few pierced primers - even with mild loads. CCI-500 were the most resistant with Winchester Small Pistols second. I was worried about firing pin erosion and wasn't sure what to do. On a hunch I uniformed the primer pockets and the pierced primer problem was eliminated. A pain to do but I only have to do it once.  |

Why do you suppose this helped with the 32 H&R? Not arguing here, just curious. I'm not against uniforming my brass in the least. I've cleaned up my flash holes on my revolver brass as I can do it quickly. |

When I first got my 32 H&R bisley, my firing pin would put a deep dent in my primers. They never were pierced, but there was craters. Turns out my firing pin was too long. A trip back to ruger and it came back good. The craters happened no matter the load.

I really don't understand why it helped... but I'm glad it did!

I really don't understand why it helped... but I'm glad it did! I've always considered it one of those things that can't hurt and may help regardless of the cartridge. I'm anal about some things, but my limit is reached at any semiauto cases though! I only rotate a couple hundred revolver cases per caliber so I can spend some extra time on them as it seems you have. Thinking outside the ole box! When you add up all of the "tricks" of case prep it may not always pay out but I really like my bullets land next to each other and have spent a pile trying to make it so. What's a little extra time. Heck, I've got a few hundred dollars in a bullet pointing set up for my rifles and it's my least favorite thing to do in the reloading shop, but it works! |
