Should be a standard large rifle primer, I think. Nobody publishes primer brissance numbers that I am aware of. Every maker seems to have their preferred mix of priming material and cup hardness. So, as with every component change you make in your reloading recipes, you'll want to knock your powder charges down 10% and work the loads back up watching for pressure signs.

I never use S&B products!
S&B in Germany: Schlecht & Billig. In Englis it means: Bad & Cheap. |

They should work good, but I would do just what Unclenick said.

I have found primer cup size problem
I reload 9mm and on the S&B cases that I have picked up at the range and tried to reload that the primer cup is 0.02 smaller than all others. That results in the mew primer (fed or Win) does not fully seat. Now as I cull through I toss the S&B. That said, you may have problems with the primers not seating or falling out if not going back into S&B brass.

S&B is good brass, if you can ever get a primer seated.
I just applied for a C&R license, and when it gets here the first thing I'm gonna purchase is a Dillon Super Swage (from Graf's, very nice discount) and see if reswaging the pockets fixes the problem. I have maybe a thousand S&B .38 Specials and a few hundred .357 Magnum cases, all clean & polished and deprimed. I also like S&B .22LR ammo when i can find it, which is not often. It shoots good, and it smells funny when it burns (doesn't really stink, just weird) which is always good for a laff at the indoor range.
