Hi gents, here in Australia we are having a primer shortage so I wondered if anyone has used large pistol magnum primers in rifles before. I know there are differences in the thickness, toughness and brisance of rifle and pistol primers in general and its not something I would normally enterain. However as the primer shortage has lasted a few years now( and some feel is government skullduggery) reloaders are starting to develope great depression style flexbility here. (Pistol shooters are also currently buying up bulk field 12ga shotshells to raid for powder being shotgun and pistol powders another unobtainable item)
Back to the subject the calibres I would be looking to prime are 30-30 and 444 marlin lever guns, maybe also a 308 win. And am referring to large pistol magnum( CCI ) specifically, not 'regular large pistol'..
