Small Pistol Primers Magtech?

[Markopolo]

wow...Amazing what comes around when you advertise your looking for stuff...

I picked up a box of Small pistol primers from Magtech? never knew these were in existence till now... as long as they go bang i guess...275710

also got 4 old unopened cans of BP, and another strange powder I ain't seen sense 1979, also unopened.

275711

its a pretty fast powder should be equiv to bullseye i figure..

pretty crazy what shakes out of the woodwork when folks need money i guess..

I used magtech sr primers without issue. Brazilian if I recall correctly.

Nice find.

Never used them, but I would not hesitate to. I cannot get very anal about loading pistol ammunition. And now, it matters even less.

I used MT primers years ago. Bang.
No issues.

Regarding Trap 100, double-check with Hodgdon on this, but I believe it to be equivalent to Win 452AA. If that is the case, you made a nice find.

452AA is my all time favorite powder for target velocity handgun loads. I've used it in 38, 40, 45 and even 10mm. Of course it is discontinued and superseded by WST.

Loved the smell of Win 452 AA in my 38 loads! Worked good for trap loads too.

I bought 10K Magtech spp primers a few years back. They work fine.

I've never specifically used their primers, but have shot and sold a lot of their ammo when I was in business and never a complaint. I'd have to assume that they use their primers to load their ammo. I've still got some, and the boxes look just like your photo.

I've used magtechs on occasion. No problems.
I love old powder finds, working through a pound of Herco that cost $12 new...

I still have some of the same BP "Superfine" fffg. It actually is a fffg BP in burn rate from several pressure tests I've done in several cartridges from the 32 S&W up through the 45-70. It is a very good BP to use in handgun cartridges from the 32 S&W. 32 S&WL up through the 45 Colt.

[Markopolo]

I love BP in cartridge... will be sure to give it a try again... a case full will do it!!!

[Prcshooter]

I've shot many thousands of the magtec and have never had a problem

I've never run across Magtech primers but I have shot up a bunch of their 44 Special and 45 ACP ammo (mostly before I got dies for a specific caliber). All seemed consistent and all went bang...
