You can use SRP as a SPP.SPP out. But thanks. I probably would have caved.
If I was out, I might consider it. I'd just hate to spend a lot of money on them only to find out my striker guns won't ignite the primer.You can use SRP as a SPP.
I talked to CCI many years ago and he confirmed that SPP and SRP are identical just packaged in different boxes.If I was out, I might consider it. I'd just hate to spend a lot of money on them only to find out my striker guns won't ignite the primer.
I have had no issue using SRP in place of SPP at times, all of my pistols function fine i have striker and hammer pistols of different makes and models. on the 550 it is easier to just run what is in the tube then add the appropriate labeled primers!!If I was out, I might consider it. I'd just hate to spend a lot of money on them only to find out my striker guns won't ignite the primer.
Dad, the story I heard from CCI (although this was back in 2015) was that the 400 and the 550 were direct equivalents, that the SRP used the same alloy and primer compound as the SPMPI talked to CCI many years ago and he confirmed that SPP and SRP are identical just packaged in different boxes.
I can swing that kind of pricing. Sure it's higher than the $0.03 I was paying but in the grand scheme of things it makes my rounds go from $0.11 to $0.15, give or take.Short of constitutional carry passing in 75%+ states, Hearing Protection Act passing and similar legislation which would mean a conservative wave that is dominant and lasting, we will not see primers for under .05-.07 each again.
I think he was saying an extra $20 on top of what he normally would spend.I guess i just shoot to many different calibers as i can't go to the range and only use 20 bucks worth of ammo
Or was he saying his reloads cost him $20 worth of components for a range trip? I'm sure brass not includedI think he was saying an extra $20 on top of what he normally would spend.
He may be right. A typical range session for me these days is between 100-150 rounds. If I am shooting reloads that I loaded for $0.11 each that would be $11-$17 in ammo costs. If my reload price went up to $0.18/round, that same session would be $18-$27.I think he was saying an extra $20 on top of what he normally would spend.
Correct. Brass not included. I'm not sure how to figure the cost of the brass. I shoot factory ammo, pick up that brass to reload. Plus I pick up my reloaded brass and reload it until the case splits. Then if I do a class, I stay behind at the end and pick up brass.Or was he saying his reloads cost him $20 worth of components for a range trip? I'm sure brass not included
I wouldn't even worry about it. if your brass is pick up. Not worth the effort. 9mm brass lasts a very long time too.Correct. Brass not included. I'm not sure how to figure the cost of the brass.

I have found at classes that most of the shooters don't reload and usually the instructor/range lets me pick up the brass. I have done a class, sent a few hundred rounds downrange for the class and picked up 600 pieces of brass at the end of the weekend.
How would I compute that?
This is the same primer I bought on a group buy last year. I have had a couple light primer strikes but at the same time I had a couple on some factory rounds so I think it was the gun.American Reloading has SPP, $520 shipped w/hazmat for 5k

Good to hear some sort of feedback on them, hate buying something I know nothing about. I am not planning to buy any of these at this time. I am ok on spp at the moment, that doesn't mean I will pass up a deal if one comes along thoughThis is the same primer I bought on a group buy last year. I have had a couple light primer strikes but at the same time I had a couple on some factory rounds so I think it was the gun.
$520 is hard to take when I paid $150 12 months ago. I'l think on this for a bit. Thanks for the update!
