Primers

Anyone see any small pistol primers for sale? Will the primer affect to powder load to much?

I have a few thousand waiting at a gun shop for me to pick up so they are starting to move again but slowly and you had better be on the ball with money in hand.
What do you mean about powder load and primer with "too much"? Are you meaning using small pistol magnum in place of small pistol or using small rifle instead of small pistol or what?

My LGS had 2,500 WSP on the shelf this afternoon for $4.99/100, I bought 200.
Why not more? I'm not a greedy hoarder and I already had 2,100 in stock.
Plus, I need to save the money if I ever find 9mm bullets to load.

You need to be a little more specific. Using231 with different primers or cci500's with different powders? Using different primer brands with the same powder as long as the primers are all of one type like small pistol primers will change the velocity and pressure a little but not enough to worry about. Using one powder and changing the primer from Small Pistol to Small Pistol Magnum will change it a great deal.
There are lots of threads on this forum that deal with this type of thing and you can find pretty much anything you are looking for here.
Also, pick up a reloading manual like a Lyman #49 and look through it. You will find lots of info there on this question. Check out a caliber, say .357 Mag and a bullet type and weight and see what equal charges of different powders yields in results. Quite interesting and a good place to start.
Before I starting reloading anything a number of years ago I bought a Lyman and read it cover to cover, bought a can of Unique as it seemed to me to be the most versatile powder for what I wanted to do and started in.

No worries and welcome to reloading.
The guys on this sight have tons more experience reloading than I do and are always happy to help out new reloaders with questions. Don't be afraid to ask.

Powder Valley has Tula primers in stock at this time. Small Pistol and Small rifle.

Powder Valley prices seem reasonable as well.
