I know several longtime members don’t even bother buying small pistol primers and just use rifle primers in everything unless it has a weak hammer spring and won’t ignite them reliably. I’m looking at going the opposite direction because I have a whole bunch more SPP. I didn’t load or shoot much that used SRP until I bought a silencer and got into casting for 300 Blackout. I still have a decent supply of SRP but wouldn’t mind conserving them until the market settles down. Since I will be shooting well below the possible speeds for a normally supersonic round I shouldn’t be getting anywhere near the pressure limit. SAAMI says 300 BLK max is 55K and the highest pressure SPP round I can think of is 357 Sig at 40K, so it seems SPP are rated to withstand the kind of pressures I would be working with.
I know this isn’t an optimal solution and I absolutely plan on starting low and working up. Anybody have any experience going down a similar road?
