[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 98013, member: 10"] It would really depend on what level of pressure his loads were loaded to. If he was using a very top end load developed with a Pistol primer and then switched to a LR primer he would have seen some pressure issues. If he was using a moderate level load, he probably would not have seen much of a noticable difference. I tested the 44 Mag with rifle primers just to see how they would work. I found them more difficult to seat below the face of the case head. They seemed to be a bit longer then the pistol primers or just had thicker cups. They did work and performance was no different then the pistol primers when the loads were developed for the rifle primers compared to loads developed with the pistol primers. Both got sticky extraction at the same level of velocity and accuracy was also the same. I tested this to see if the supposedly hotter rifle primers would ignite a heavy charge of H-110 better then the pistol primers, did not appear to make any difference compared to a Magnum pistol primer. Again though, I would never recommend switching to a rifle primer with a top end load developed with a pistol primer. More then likely it would not be dangerous but you would see an increase in pressure. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
