CCI 550s are all I've used since the primer shortage of 08-09. .380, 9mm, 40S&W and small primer 45ACP. I'm using Blue Dot in the 9mm, AA#5 in the other 3. Work up your loads again, but I didn't really see any difference - but I'm usually handloading to the mild side.

Use the magnum primers in any listed load for the caliber you are loading, start light and work your way up just like you would do if you changed out any other component.
I have used small and large pistol and rifle primers many times when regular primers weren't available, using the method of starting light and working a load up, no problems no issues.

I used Remington 5 1/2 small pistol magnum primers during the last drought to load 9mm. 5.7 grains of Power Pistol under 115 grain Remington HP's netted 1150 fps from my firearms. Approximately 50 fps faster than standard primer used to create the load data in my manuals. Basically this load duplicates factory ammo.

Just reload like you have been. Maybe start out .1 or .2 less than you have been. I use what ever primers i can buy. SPM or just SP. Im not picky.
 Ive used exclusivly SPM since 2008 when we had the scare.
