Remington Small Pistol Primers

[ambishooter]

Just noticed 2 different Remington Small Pistol Primers listed in your site. Being not familiar with the Remington Branded SPP, what exactly is the difference between 5-1/2, and 1-1/2 SPPs as listed for Small Pistols. I saw the 2-1/2 is for Large Pistol. I am used to Winchester, Federal, CCI, S&B. What exactly do I need if I am reloading 9mm?

My understanding is #1 1/2 are the standard SPP and the #5 1/2 SPP have a thicker primer cup for heavier recoiling rounds like .40 and .357
I've used both for 9mm with no issues in my competition guns.

5 1/2 are small pistol magnum primers. do not use these in 9mm loads but use the 1 1/2.

Hello Ambishooter,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your interest in our Remington Small Pistol Primers. It's completely understandable that the different designations might be confusing if you're more familiar with other brands like Winchester, Federal, CCI, and S&B.

To clarify, the Remington Small Pistol Primers come in two varieties: the 5-1/2 and the 1-1/2. The 5-1/2 primers are considered magnum primers, which means they are designed for use with high-pressure loads, typically used in magnum pistol cartridges.

However, if you're reloading 9mm ammunition, you should opt for the 1-1/2 Small Pistol Primers. These are the appropriate choice for standard 9mm loads.

You can find the Remington 1-1/2 Small Pistol Primers on our website using the following link: [Remington 1-1/2 Small Pistol Primers - Box of 1000](https://www.gotenda.com/product/remi...r-box-of-1000/).

We apologize for any confusion caused, and we're in the process of updating the product title to make it clearer that the 5-1/2 primers are intended for magnum applications.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

Hi Team Tenda, you say Rem 5 1/2 primers are designed for use in high pressure loads in magnum pistol cartridges. On the other hand, 9mm should use 1 1/2 primers. However reloading charts say maximum SAAMI pressure for both .357 magnum and 9mm and even .40S&W is 35,000 psi. In this case, should we use 1 1/2 or 5 1/2 primers?

You can use Magnum primers in 9mm just fine, just not with very fast powder.

Question for Tenda:

- Can I buy the Tenda-branded paper shooting targets on the website? I can't find them. I received some in an order and want to buy more.

not trying to hijack the thread, but anyone know how hard/soft these primers are compared to ginex/campro small pistol? id like to be able to run a lighter mainspring in my shadow but those ginex primers are pretty hard. if these are softer ill definetly order a bunch.
