Anyone ever used large rifle primers for pistol?
I'm running low on large pistol primers but have a surplus of large rifle.
Thinking of starting large pistol load development with the large rifle. Any thoughts? Concerns? Obviously start low powder charge and work up, but anything else? Anyone try this ? Cheers 360hunt |
I’ve never done it but used lots of small rifle primers in handgun loads. Never had any problems but you might find your hammer (firing pin) not hitting the primers hard enough to set them off. Maybe just try trading your rifle primers for large pistol primers.

Not a good idea,
Large rifle primers and large pistol primers share diameters, but rifle primers are about.010” taller. They will sit proud and may jam a revolver or fire on closing a bolt. Lots of info on the web. SRP and SPP are dimensionally identical. |
Where you at 360, I may have some we could do a straight trade. I can check tonight when o get home.
