    Ramshot Enforcer - Winchester Small Pistol Primers

    I’ve seen conflicting data showing both Small Pistol and Small Pistol Magnum primers being used with Ramshot Enforcer in 357 Magnum. I only have Winchester Small Pistol primers on hand.

    Was wondering if anyone uses standard small pistol primers with Enforcer in 357 Magnum with cast bullets, 155-158 grs?

    I've used them when I had a bunch.
    Especially the Winchester ones that say they're for standard or Magnum loads.

    If you use standard sp primers in a full house, jacketed .357 load, you might get some pierced primers.
    With cast and their lower pressures, it won't be a issue.

    Thank you Winger Ed. Enforcer is surprisingly available. I’ve been a 2400 man since the 1970s. I still have some left but I’m not optimistic to see anymore for the foreseeable future (years I bet). Hopefully, Enforcer will became my 357 Mag powder of choice. I’ll try to get an Enforcer equivalent of 13.5 grs 2400 using 155-158 gr cast bullets (Lyman 358477, 358156GC or standard commercial Magma SWC 158 gr).

    It is a very fine ball powder. Most all ball
    Powders ask for a magnum
    Primer.

    It's wise to be cautious.

    We wouldn't want you to shoot your eye out kid!

    I've used those blue wrapper Winchesters that say standard or magnum loads for both standard
    and full house Magnum applications in all 4 sizes-- large and small with no issues at all.
