[QUOTE="429421Cowboy, post: 791541, member: 54332"] Another thing to consider is the fact that the shorter LP primers will back out and slam into the breach face, eventually peening a nice dent around your firing pin, happens to BP shooters sometimes as well. SR and SP primers are the same demensions however, and many use both in .22 Hornet and the like, depending on their personal preference. I have been told that CCI SPM and SR primers are the exact same critter, not sure how true this is, but i do know several people that use nothing but SR primers for their handgun loads, worked up accordingly. My only worry about small pistol primers in a rifle would be the cup thickness, as mentioned by others. CCI primers are known for hard cups that some handguns have a hard time setting off. If CCI SR and SPM are infact the same thing, i would certainly use one for the other depending on what i could find. [/QUOTE]
