    SOME people swear you get better results with small pistol primers in the hornet....others say its unsafe....
    do your own research but it may just be a golden ticket for you.

    Yea I've heard that the guy I bought my first hornet off used pistol primers only drawback is he now only has one eye from one rupturing so I stick to sr primers
