Are magnum small pistol primers interchangeable with small rifle primers? For several years I have loaded only .38 special and .357 magnum, but I have recently picked up dies and brass for .30 Carbine.
I have a few magnum small pistol primers, but no small rifle primers. The reloading manuals call for small rifle primers. Reloader friends have said they are interchangeable, but I am reluctant to try it without some more seasoned opinions. In my experience with other disciplines, similar size and shape are not necessarily evidence that the internals are identical.
