So I am reloading some 380acp and I run out of primers. I was at my brothers house and he was at work. I look around and find magnum small pistol primers and load 50 and call it quits. I am using a hand press and going a little slow. Anyway, when my brother gets home he gets small primers for me and I keep going. I did segregate the magnum primer loaded cases.
What exactly is the difference between small pistol primers and magnum small pistol primers. I don't think any power difference is there and its a metal thickness issue. I have done a few searches on the internet trying to determine if I can just through them in with all the others and move on.
Can anybody direct me to information from a trusted site that explains the difference? Maybe a test showing differences in power between primers.
