I have been shooting pistol pretty heavy this year and I am very low on factory 9mm ammunition. I have a load with a heavy bullet that shoots softer and works, so I would like to load up a huge pile of it.
Have any of you used Servicios y Aventuras primers? One guy I asked said he didn't like them, another said they seat in the brass a little rough but all worked. I also see Magtech primers, Ginex, Fiocchis and a few others. I have only loaded CCI, Winchester and Remington before and never had a problem with them.
I am thinking about just getting 100 or 500 of the Servicios y Aventuras to try out, then if they work I'll order up 10,000. That would keep my 9mm fed for 3+ years.
I know 10,000 isn't a lot for some of you guys, but I'm not lucky enough to shoot as much as you.
Thanks in advance.
 
Ive used a ton of the servicos primers.No issues in a 2011.Striker fired guns may have too light of primer strike.They run great thru a Dillon press and about 20 fps faster than federal in my gun
 
Magtech work in Glock pistols with factory striker springs. Not so much in tuned up revolvers.

Federal and Winchester have started to return at the big vendors. Sale prices hover at $80/1K. Off the historical high, but way above what they cost just a couple years before Biden.
 
I'll be doing a little experimenting. 500 158gr Everglades bullets and 5 different primers showed up.
