with all the panic buying reloading supplies are getting scarce. I loaded some .223 using CCI 450 primers because that was all that was available ( I usually use CCi 400) I dont think this is a problem, the magnum primers are hotter but I tested a few rounds and had no issues with pressure.
But here is something to think about. Small pistol primers. somebody out there may try using pistol primers for .223 and I wonder if that might be a safety issue. might that cause a potential for accidental discharge when the floating firing pin of an AR nicks the primer? I have no idea if this has ever happened . I am just asking. And do pistol caliber AR use the same firing pins ?
