14.5 Alliante 2400 and a Small Rifle Primer has a velocity of 1839fps.
8.5 HS-6 and a Remington Small Pistol Primer has a velocity of 1365fps, I substituted a Fed Small Rifle primer on this one, but have not chronographed it yet. The small pistol primers appeared to be pierced, but I later found that smoothing the firing pin tip cured the problem.
All have been satisfactorily accurate.
