Anyone using Remington 5 1/2 sm pistol primers?
These are the only primers I can find for small pistol. They are a magnum, but supposedly remington does not make the pellet fire any hotter, they just have a thicker cup. I looked on their website and noticed most of their UMC ammo for .40 is loaded with the 5 1/2's. Anybody else loading with these?

I did...
Sized used case (mostly R-P), that primer, 200g Hornady FMJ, 4.0g W231, OAL 1.128", LEE Carbide Factory Crimp Die.
Friggin' accurate from my gun, used as a match load for the 'Practical' Division at the S&W Invitationals, and THAT load was offered to me by another 'in the business', who'd found it extremely accurate from customer guns....
