Non-Toxic Primer Pockets

[Canuc Shooter]

Picked up a bunch of once fired Non-Toxic 9 mil brass today...I noticed that the flash hole is larger than a normal 9 mil primer pocket flash hole. My question is, can I reload these with normal primers, and get the same accuracy and pressures as with my normal brass?

Yes.

Pressure might be increased slightly, but unless you are already pushing the envelope with your load, not enough to matter.

Thanks for the quick response, I am not at the limit yet and the cartridges are not showing any signs of pressure, so I'll just throw them in with my regular lot of brass, and carry on as ussual.

Before you "throw them in with your other brass" you might try loading a few and see if primers seat normally, etc.

WSP primers seem to fit okay with the RL550B setup, did not have an issue with the primer pocket.

Just checking.
Some of the "lead-free" ammo has crimped primer pockets to keep the primers from backing out.
