I think I recall it can be a little tricky getting the threads lined up and starting correctly, but by patiently working with it you should get them to go in straight. If that doesn't work, it might be due to mismatched or damaged threads.

Are you referring to the Daniel Defense product described here or standard mil-spec pistol grips? Standard grips are a dime a dozen, and I don't care for them for the reasons mentioned. The Daniel Defense grips solve the problem, so I recommend them over standard mil-spec grips.

I've heard that rifle primer cups have slightly thicker walls. If so, they might or might not work with a particular pistol depending on how strong the striker/firing pin spring is. As for the charge, I wouldn't be surprised if they're all about the same. All primers have to do is ignite the powder. The powder then creates the huge chamber pressure, up around 30,000 PSI for 9mm. Any pressure contributed by the primer would be tiny in comparison.

I didn't check accuracy or group size, since I was just shooting through a chronograph into a berm. I predict that there would be no difference, since pistol shooting is not a high-precision sport. Variability caused by the shooter himself is usually much greater than variability in the ammo. As someone pointed out in one of the other comments though, magnum primers have thicker cups, so with a pistol that has a weak firing pin strike, you might get a failure to fire.

Thank you for the info.

Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful. This method also doesn't make much mess.

It sounds like you're having failures to feed. That doesn't sound like a primer issue to me. I would think it might be more like a problem with the cartridge dimensions, such as incorrect bullet or case diameters, or maybe that overall cartridge length doesn't work well with your gun. Also, it might be an issue with a weak recoil spring that doesn't have enough power to push the cartridge in. Is the feed ramp smooth and clean?

@@salmonthomas it has been tested with the original GLOCK spring , cartridges dimensions are measured by digital caliber and are seating at its OAL 29,5 mm , high cartridge loads 5,4 grain Vjhyavouri N340 , the pistol has the trigger prepared by a real expert on its original base for optimize it’s performance. Another suggestion says to crimp more the bullet

@@salmonthomas as weak recoil it can be this is the reason why he suggest to crimp and test both with CcI 500 and 550 magnums

Is your problem a failure to feed the cartridge into the chamber when the slide goes forward; that is, before you fire? Or is it a failure to extract or eject after you fire? If it's a failure to feed, does it happen when you load the first round from the magazine, before firing the first shot? Depending on when the malfunction occurs, you might be able to narrow down the cause. Your overall length sounds long, at least for 115 grain FMJ bullets. These commercial cartridges are usually about 1.155" (29.34mm). I load mine between 1.120" (28.45mm) to 1.135" (28.83mm). I don't have any references to know the correct charge for that powder (for 115 or 124g bullets), but 5.4 grains sounds like a lot. So you should have plenty of chamber pressure, and I don't think changing primers would have any effect. Generally people taper crimp 9mm. I use a light crimp. Are you setting your powder charge and overall all length based on a reference book? You should follow their specifications for both powder change AND overall length. Both affect chamber pressure, so you have to get both right. Overall length also affects feeding. If you follow the reference data, it should normally function fine.

I use 123 gr fmj following the loading data but 0,2 grains more to reach 350ms the no feeding issue happened at the second 8 shot group exercise so at magazine full at half, it is very strange issue.on single shot doesn’t happened, this happens On a very rapid fire sequence .is a cycling problems

I hope it makes your jewelry look beautiful!

Thank you. I try to make videos about things I learn that may be a practical benefit to others.

I'm glad it was helpful.

Sounds like you may have done what I did! Glad it was helpful.

Thank you. Last year I bought the wet brass tumbler, sifter and dryer made by Hornaday, which does the same as what I show in this video, but processes three times as much brass in the same time. I hope to make a video showing the new equipment. But the process I show in the this video still works great.

Glad to be of help. Thank you for the comment.

Thank you for the info. I have no experience with those. I personally haven't noticed any interference with the trigger.

You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.

Thank you for the insight. Wow, that sounds cold! I probably wouldn't last 30 minutes below freezing! By the way, I've been using Servicious Aventuras primers from Argentina. They work fine for my 1911, but some shooters with striker-fired pistols have occasional misfires, perhaps due to thicker primer walls.

@@oakleydefense5513 ,Your assessment is correct, those primers are thick-walled, they do not work well in pistols with a lightened hammer, IPSC shooters use "imaz" PRIMERS

Thank you for watching my video and for the comments. It’s good you understand the difference in wall thickness for rifle versus pistol primers. Which brings up a good point you’re probably aware of. Some primer substitutions might be acceptable but using any pistol primer in a rifle cartridge is potentially dangerous because of the thinner walls in pistol primers. That, combined with a more powerful firing pin and higher chamber pressures might lead to a punctured primer and high pressure gas going back toward the shooter.

I think so also.

Interesting! In the US at that time, the price was probably similar, about $25/1000. Do you know in which countries it's possible for citizens to reload? My impression is that most European countries have restrictions on gun ownership. As I mentioned in the video, now a year and several thousand primers later, the Murom primers worked fine.

You're welcome. Hope it helped!

@salmonthomas yesir!! I was uhh definitely freaking out. Just a tad lol.

I understand. As they say, "Been there, done that!"

Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for the info. What brand were they?

@@salmonthomas CCI SP Magnum.

Yes, that's a potential problem with magnum primers, due to thick walls. It can also occur with standard primers from some manufacturers. For example, Servicios Aventuras small pistol primers (Argentina) can likewise fail in a gun with light springs, but with a strong firing pin, they fire consistently. If 100% reliability is required, we must first validate them with the specific pistol.

I think you're referring to the roll pin (rather than screw) that holds the back of the trigger guard in. I pushed it out at about 2:50 in the video using a 3/32" roll pin punch. I think that's what it was.

@@salmonthomas thank you

Thank you for the info.

Thank you for the feedback. Glad to be of help.

By now I've loaded 7,557 of these and they've worked as well as my favorite American primers. I think you can be confident they'll work fine.

Excellent! Glad to hear it helped.

You're welcome!

You're welcome. Glad to be of help!

You're welcome. I'm glad it could be useful for you. It retrospect it seems simple, so I don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner. When I learn something new and useful, I like to share it in a video with the hopes that it might benefit someone else.

Thank you. I hadn't heard that method, but I suppose it will wash away grime or grit of the cases, which is the most important part. This is the method I learned at the beginning. I'm used to this procedure and pleased with the results.

Thanks for the feedback. If you don't clean your cases, isn't there risk of abrading your dies, especially the carbide sizer die?

@@oakleydefense5513 well I reload mostly pistol calibers and from my experience as long as the cases are free of debris you will not damage the dies. I tumble in crushed walnut shells, separate the media out, add a squirt or two of case lube so the press runs smoother and they go into the case feeder on the old 650. I have loaded way over 10,000 rounds of 9mm this way with zero problems.

There’s many ways to clean brass... I think the point of using wet media is so that all the carbon and lead coating the brass stays in the water and not in your lungs.😮

@@rdmercer2451 drop a dryer sheet in the dry tumbler and it eliminates dust and collects most of the stuff that comes off the cases. I don’t know what exactly is collected on the dryer sheet but it turns mostly black so we have to assume it is the carbon or lead.

Sorry to hear that. Definitely not a good deal! I've never seen green boxes. I've bought several thousand, and they're always red, as shown in my video. If you noticed more distinct dents on CCI or Federal primers, I suspect thick or hard primer walls also.

Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful.

Glad to be of help!

I agree. What I really wanted to compare were chamber pressures. Unfortunately, I have no way to measure it, so I used velocity instead, which the best method available to me to compare relative pressures.

@@salmonthomas exactly. I can trust a manual all I want and I can trust the firearm all I want but ultimately it's up to me as a reloader to make sure the explosion I'm creating in my hands is safe, no matter what.

I hope it all works fine.

Thank you. Glad I was able to help somewhat.

Glad to be of help.

Thank you! I hope my videos can be beneficial for other people.

Yes, I understand. I'm a certified Springfield armorer and, though I hate to admit it, I've done it too. Fortunately, it's a straight-forward fix if you understand the sear. Glad this could be of help.

Thank you for the info. I didn't know that.

Thank you for the info. I didn't know that magnum primers are harder, so what you say makes sense. Similar to the risk of using small rifle primers for pistols loads.

@@salmonthomas Yeah I think it depends on the gun. For a SA/DA and striker fired gun there's a compromise with pull weight of the trigger and primer strike ability. A nice advantage of a SAO gun. Can run a stiffer hammer spring without needing train your trigger finger at the gym haha.
