| Is it okay to use regular SP primers or do I need magnum SP primers? |

I am using Bullseye...fastest powder on the market, IIRC. Quoted:

It depends. If using fast burning powders like AA#5 Win231 Green Dot etc then use SPP. If using slow powders like Blue Dot I really recommend Magnum primers. I am using Bullseye...fastest powder on the market, IIRC. For Bullseye (the powder) I use standard. Actually, I use Federal Match because these are segregated specifically for my Bullseye match pistol. |

I have had good luck with Bullseye... standard primers are fine. Personally I have found it comfortable for target loads...not sure if I would trust a self defense load with it though. My favorite is 9mm... 4.0-4.2 grains Bullseye, 115 grain FMJ...run through a used Sig P228. |
| I don't load SD ammo... if I did, I think I'd like to try the BE-86, the new powder out from Alliant. I believe it is Bullseye with added flash suppressant and slightly slower burn, so with a performance more like Power Pistol. Looks like a perfect combination for a self defense round. |

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep my eyes peeled for BE86, which I have not seen for sale yet. I can find LOTS of powder here in the greater DC area (head down south and it becomes more available), but no pistol powder other than IMR700 Hi-Skor and Bullseye. |
