I have never done any experiments with using the wrong type of primer in a specific caliber. But I'm curious what would happen if you used a small pistol primer for say like a 223, or what if you used a small rifle primer for a 9mm, etc.
What about using a magnum primer where the recipe doesn't call for magnum primers. Like what if you used a Large Rifle Magnum primer on a 308 or whatever.
What makes rifle and pistol primers different? What makes magnum primers different?
Has anybody accidentally used the wrong ones before? I'm curious, but not curious enough to try it and hurt myself!
I'm not endorsing this, but I'm just wondering what would happen. Can anybody shed any light on this?
