None of the local or not so local dealers to me have seen small pistol primers since around Christmas!!! They don't know when they will see any either - all on back order, "The Americans are panic buying" they say.
Anyhow. I was wondering if my Winchester 1894 AE will have the oomph to set off small rifle primers reliably in .357 magnum loads. I have no reference because in the past I'd use the specific primers for the specific cartridge, however, we live in interesting times and I'm getting down to my last box of small pistol primers.
Is there any downside to doing this?
Cheers.
