Magtech Small Pistol Primers


Recommended Posts

Anybody use these?
Any issues with them?

Will lightened revolver springs set them off?

Thanks in advance

I’ve used them in some specialty loads for my Ruger Blackhawk that aren’t for CAS. The gun is set up light, but it’ll set off Winchester primers and it fires these reliably.

 

I haven’t tried them in my really lightly sprung revolvers, yet!

I haven’t used them in 3-4 years but when i did I found them to be a little harder than Federals, but maybe not as hard as Winchesters. No issues in any on our revolvers that were tuned by Boomstick. 
 

I believe @C. W. Knight # 47289L got some more recently and might give you a better idea.

I've used a lot of them, never a problem, but my springs are stock or toward the heavier end if lighter aftermarket replacements were installed.

I've used both large and small Magtechs and they work fine. My guns are not "Federal only", though. They occasionally hang up in the primer tube, but usually seat fine.

I recently use a hundred, priming some cut down .454 Casull cases. They ran through my RCBS Auto-prime like corn through a goose and seated smoothly.

I used 5,000 spp in my jimmy spurs revolvers and all went bang.
