Hi guys,
I am new to reloading and the forum. So far I have loaded arounf 1K of 38 spl with various powders, bullets and used Federal SP and Tul Ammo SP primers.

I have been having a hard time finding SP primers in any brand, but when I was at my local store, I saw they had Federal Match SP primers in stock. I did not get them because I have not heard anything about them. What's your take on them and would they be ok to use in place of the standard small pistol primers other than the increased price? I prime using a hand primer, not on the press.

Thanks.
