[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1699253, member: 385"] 1911-style pistols, with steel firing pins and full factory-weight hammer springs, will fire most any ammo (from any source) that is going to fire. S&W revolvers, with the stock mainspring, will fire most any American-made factory ammo. That's the difference. If S&W built their revolvers to dependably fire the ultra-hard primed foreign stuff, the action would be so "hard" that their complaint line would overheat and burn down. Those of us who reload for revolvers tuned for match shooting will almost invariably run Federal primers. They are on the soft side. We'll also hard seat them, so they are .002 to .005 below flush. I know some who will hand seat them to the point that the anvil top is visible; that's too much extra effort for me. [/QUOTE]
