This was discussed a lot during the 2008 shortage, learned that a lot of the competitive shooters use small rifle in their 9mm loads. I guess the best clue would be to look at some of your brass, if you are getting a nice deep dimple then they should be okay, but I still wouldn't load up a bunch til trying them out. Bottom line, if done correctly and safely they should work fine. Having an alternative will be nice as it looks like we are going into another shortage cycle so its kind of like shoot what you can get.
