primers
I am a newbie to reloading so please do not laugh. I am going to reload for a 45 auto and a 380 auto. I plan on using Winchester primers. Large pistol for the 45 Auto? Small pistol for the 380 Auto? mttrapper[:)]

Is a chevy better than a ford?
They both go bang.0 -
The answer depends completely on what you mean by "better." 0 -
In reality; no. In the past some cases accepted the Winchester a bit easier but I have not noticed the difference in newer batches of primers. 0 -
hey thx "bpost1958". ive dealt with cci primers and there alittle harder to prime with on the dillon for some reason. so i went to winchesters and they do work fine. but the dealer that i buy them from was having trouble getting primers period. but he said he had some federals. so thats why i posted this question about the federals`. thx again. now back to you junk or jonk, ive reloaded for sometime now and have been on here for different opinions and advice for the last few years and during that time i`ve never come across a smart--s like u. so if they want to kick me off of here because of what i just said to u thats ok. sounds like you`ve been around and know it all. so thank-ya for your "intelligent" reply. 0 -
Federals seem to be a little softer than cci and winchester. They work great in handguns.Don't recommend then for semi-auto rifles. 0 -

Lest you think my reply was also "smartazz" allow me to assure you it was not.
"Better" primer can mean many things: fit, cost, softness, brisance, dimensions, availability, or even looks. If "better" includes performance, does it mean more velocity, more consistent velocity, better cold-weather ignition, lower SD, lower spread, or such esoteric parameters as gas volume, flame temperature, flame duration, particulate inclusion, lead content, erosive ash content, pH, sensitivity, common or basic formulation and more.
So. What do you mean by "better?"0 -
im just stirring this guys kool-ade,half his post was bustin jonks b__ls.i found it a funny read.
i know ive posted questions on forums that sounded well thought out in my head but didnt convey well in "type" and you take a sarcastic answer when it happens.all in fun i think.

well bud, for me... as long as it works and works well with the reloading 0 -
I have been useing Winchester for quite sometime and haven't had a problem. Having said that, The last batch I loaded with my Dillon 550B, I kept having mis-feeds with my primers. Some of them were even coming out upside down. About a a dozen of them so far. And yes, I am sure they didn't go in the primer tube wrong. I'm kind of baffled by it.
Any ideas ??0 -
45LONG. Did you try replacing the primer tube orfice? I had that issue when mine was wearing down. Dillon will replace for free if you didn't already know that.
I use both Federal and Winchester and I like them both. I use mostly Winchester as they are easier to find. The Federal primers are a little softer and work better if you have a gun that the hammer strike may be lighter on.0 -
Behaven,,,Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. I will look at it and see if I have a replacement for it. If not I will contact Dillon. 0
