OH No maybe big problem?

When I was shooting rifles which required a small rifle primer, I wouldn't bother buying small pistol primers for my .357s. I also worked up loads for the components I used. I do not use, nor do I think it is wise to use large rifle primers for either my .44 or .45.
 
Get some more small rifle primers and prime some cases with them--work up to you standard load a few rounds at a time and see if you develope over pressure signs--if none, then you are likely ok to go ahead and just shoot them off.

Safety in reloading is a very important factor. Well do I remember several yrs ago someone gave out some info in super hot loads in //www.1911forum.com/forums & the result was the reloading section was closed down for a year plus.

So give the above some thought when handed out some strange ways of reloading for really we do not know who reads the board.
 
I experiment with small r. primers in pistol carts. but usually in rifles. Most of my rifles however use Large pistol primers, this is so that the bullet will not move under primers power in the split second before liftoff. For small c.f. carts. using black powder, pistol primer use is quite common as well.
 
Now we are starting to see 45ACP with small primer holes, instead of Large Pistol Primers, & they do well with the correct primers. I have tried some & so have a few others. But not rifle primers even though he hammer drop on a harder rifle primer can be ignited.
