Another thing that concerns me is the use of magnum primers with a fast burning powder like Bullseye. Magnum primers are generally recommended only for slow burning, harder to ignite powders, for example, like 2400, in heavier loads in larger cases. Using magnum primers with a powder like Bullseye can skyrocket pressures to unsafe levels faster than you can say BOOM. :o
Listen to what Dan W and unfy are saying.......DON'T SHOOT 'EM! Break them down, and reuse the components. I don't want to read about how badly you were injured using too-heavy loads of fast burning powder in small cases with magnum primers.

I never said anything about magnum primers...

Turns out the most recent load I made was with 4.8gr of bullseye. I used to keep track of my 9mm loads on this one box and when I ran out of space on there I moved them all into small 50 round cardboard boxes. So whatever thread I had of blowing up had it's chance and in allll those rounds I shot never had a problem. Gosh I have never realized how many 9mm I have shot...
You should all be glad to see that I have all the info for my loads organized into a binder and loads posted on everything I make. If anybody wants this template for keeping track of loads let me know and I can email it to you. Took me forever in excel tweaking the spacing to my liking.

bradkoll: I apologize for mentioning you specifically in my previous post. I intended for my discussion to be more general, and not specifically pointed to you.
I'll try to restate my thoughts a little more clearly. This thread has discussed the use of greater than recommended loads of Bullseye powder, and has also discussed the use of magnum primers with Bullseye powder.
IMO, using greater than recommended loads...even a few tenths of a grain.... of a fast burning powder like Bullseye, can cause a dangerous situation much more quickly than it might with a slower burning powder.
IMO, using magnum primers with a fast burning powder like Bullseye can also cause a dangerous situation, if the powder charge is at or near the maximum recommended.
Again, bradkoll, I apologize for mentioning you specifically.

I plan to move away from magnum primers if they would just say in stock. However lots of people use them and I have about 1K round through 3 guns so I feel pretty good about them. I did fire off a box of federal brand cheap stuff today from walmart and it produces noticibly more recoil. Not sure if there is a relationship between recoil and pressure but it sure did seem a lot stiffer and louder.
I've just always used CCI primers and the small pistol non magnum are hard to find right now. I can get winchester, but the main reason I dont like them is because they arent silver.... They are brass colored.
Hoping this week to get anothe 2K in primers the right size, and 2K in berrys. Wish me luck on that. Wont have the $$ until this week and the supplies are drying up fast.
