With the great primer famine upon us, I find my supply of large pistol magnum primers down to less than 50. But I have a fair supply of large rifle standard primers.

Wondering if anyone has used the rifle primers in pistol loads for 44 mag? The rifle primers may be hotter than large pistol mag primers so it would be prudent to reduce powder charges. And I think the metal cup on the riffle primers may be some what thiker than the pistol primers. I have read of people using rifle primers in the extra high preasure cartidges such as the 454 Casull.

Any comments???
