[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 2046619, member: 57533"] Pistol primers generally have a thinner cup, large pistol primers being .020, large rifle primers are .027 so rifle is thicker. Large pistol primers are also shallower by .008 so will seat deeper, the effect of this?? I would not be chancing it as if you puncture a primer in a heavy cartridge may not end well! Another thing to think about in the above is that even a .204 ruger produces up to 57,000 PSI compared to say a 260 Rem up to 59,000 PSI. A 338 Lapua as much as 63,000 PSI. Where as something like a .45 ACP only produces 20,000 PSI! [/QUOTE]
