Does anyone do this?
I'm less worried about pressure levels, since these loads will be trapdoor pressures (~20,000 CUP) which is far less that 44 mag pressures which work fine with LPP.
I've also heard stories of people intentionally using pistol primers for a easier ignition when loading 45-70 black powder.
But will the difference in primer height cause a problem in terms of primer setback and pierced primers, especially with a strong firing pin like a trapdoor springfield?
I ran out of large rifle primers, and i'm not in the mood to pay the scalpers on gunbroker $0.25 per primer...
