I know that many of the cartriges we load today were designed nearly 100 years ago, and times and technologies have changed since then. We are seeing 45 acp and even 45-70 loaded with small primers now. Is there any reason, other than tradition, that we still have large primers? it seems like a lot of extra work for everybody to have 2 sizes of primer if we don't. Taking it even further, I wonder if a small pistol magnum might work for nearly every application. (though I would be leery about guns with floating firing pins)
