I’ve never used Remington primers before, I didn’t know “5 1/2 Small Pistol “ was a M AG primer.
It doesn’t say MAG Primer on the box. So I prime up 100 9MM cases , no power yet before I found out. Can I still use them IF I back off on my power weight by a few 10th ??? will use with a 3.5 in barrel + w231 power...Thanks

It will be fine if you stop short of max by a little bit. Stopping .2 to .3 short should be plenty with W-231.

If you read the box on the 1 1/2's, they specifically state not to use them in high pressure cartridges like 40SW and 357; you're supposed to use the 5 1/2's, instead. Since 9mm is loaded at the same or higher pressure as 40SW, I'd say you got the right primers.

Agreed with the above but any component substitutions require at the least a minimal workup for safety sake. Part of the reason I like to use CCI primers most often.:)
