You guys that use the Hornet in Field Pistol do you load with small pistol primers or small rifle primers?

I have always used CCI-400 small rifle primers in my Hornets. I use a light load of AA#9 with Hornady 55 SP bullets, and accuracy is exceptional !

Do you maximum loads, slower accuracy loads, or +P loads?

CCI 400 is what I run or Fed small rifle , tried pistol primers and no luck . AA9 under a 55gr. Horn. Shoots well . I still try pistol primers if tinkering with a new powder just in case .
