[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2478918, member: 101791"] In an article a great many years ago I read did substituted LR primers in the 500 Smith. If I remember correctly. The reason behind that was people that were shooting that firearm were setting off a second round in the air and hitting themselves in the head with the 500. The thinking was that LR primers out side case is thicker or stronger, and it takes more to set it off. I still due even today use LR primers in my 500 Smith. It's my understanding the only real difference is the thickness or hardness of the outside case of the two difference primers. It take more to set the primer off the LR primers. I believe the article was written in American Hunter about changing to LR Primers. I didn't have scanning at that time. My Late Friend did a lot of pistol reloading, We develop a loads for that 500 Smith that was way ahead of what was shown then and what it shown now with H110. My friend did call about the use of LR primer verses LP primers and that what we came up with. The 500 Smith does require two hands to hold. I looked back as to when I set out the reloading info. I note the last date was 12/5/2013 in PDF file. I had the load long before that. Somewhere in the early middle of the 2000. It is also my understanding that's the only reason between the two or three primer makeups is what it takes to strike the primers to set it off. Now that the only case that I use a LR primer in the 500 Smith. I am not saying to do that. Man this should set off a storm! [/QUOTE]
