9 X 19 question

A J Christ
Went to prime up a bunch of cases with my auto prime while watch TV. I know, pay attention but ended up priming 100 of them with magnum primers. Intend to load with 124 grain jacketed bullets. None of my manuals show a powder that calls for a magnum primer.

Ideas/recommendations?

    Magnum primers are loaded to give a slightly stronger flash and may or may not have a harder /thicker Cup to withstand higher pressure limits of magnum cartridges. Winchester makes primers that are marked both standard or magnum. That said I would reduce the load on any near max load any time I changed Primer types or brand of cases. You may have some misfires with magnum primers if you have a very light hammer spring.

    Check some of the older manuals and you might find a load for Bluedot and 125 grain slugs. This is a slow powder for the 9 and you might find it interesting to shoot?[8D]

    Thanks.

    Was looking forward to the alternatives. Loaded up with Blue Dot, happen to have a lot of that stuff on hand, loaded with just over the minimum suggested load, way under max. Loaded 3 and fired them out back at the trees stump I use for that sort of stuff. Nice load, not a bad flash, not harsh, primers not flat, no signs of high pressure.

    Now if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong with my 7 X 57 Mauser and I'll be happy. Seems no matter what I do, I can't get my reloads to shoot worth schit, best group is no better than 4' at 100. Factory ammo out of that rifle will go 1 1/2, easy. Tried different weigh bullets, primers, seating, they are the correct to the best of my ability to measure them out. I also reload for my Swiss 7.5 and 6.5 Swede and both of them like my reloads just fine, especially the Swede.

    In Ken Water's Pet loads under the 7x57 updates he shows his most accurate load ,in a remington 700 classic, as a 160 grain Siera Spz BT 50 grains H-450 remington case remington 91/2M primer amd loaded to 3.070 in length.

    Looks like he tried about 60 different loads plus the factory stuff.

    I've always found him to be a reliable place to start.

    Please use all the normal safety precautions if you please![8D]
