Sub WSMP for WSP?

[bruceflinch]

I got a line on a bunch of Wincherter Small Pistol Magnum Primers for a KILLER deal. $25/1000...( funny 3 yrs ago, this would not be killer..)

I do load some .357, but mostly 9mm, .40 , .38, & .45

Didn't find anything in my Lymans Guide about substituting Magnum Primers.

What you all think??

General consensus is to drop back a bit on your load. I've used small rifle magnums (another deal) in .357 and had no problems whatsoever. I have a lot of spm's in different brands and use them all. Just start below max and watch for signs. I've heard of pressure spikes as high as 5k so be careful with faster burning powders.
