That would indicate to me that a rifle can put more power on the firing pin.

What do you do when you are shooting a rifle caliber out of a pistol, say .308 out of a Lone Eagle?


Use pistol primers in pistol calibers and rifle primers in rifle calibers the type of firearm it is fired in should not matter.

Selucrspi,

Thank you, you are correct. :oops:

Large Rifle primers are .128 - .132 inch tall and Small Rifle, Large Pistol, and Small Pistol primers are .118 - .122 inch tall.

Large (Rifle and Pistol) primers are .210 - 214 inch in diameter, while Small (Rifle and Pistol) primers are .170 - 180 inch in diameter.

Puissance is the correct term for the 'power' of a primer, brisenence relates to shockwave velocity.

Accuracy is important in handloading. It's often the desired outcome. :)

Winchester doesn't make 6-1/2 primers, Remington does though, 6-1/2 Remington would be small rifle.

I don't like Remington reloading products at all, have never used them, but that is because I have never heard anything good about them, except maybe their benchrest primers. But I am stuck using their brass in a .221 Fireball, but not by my choice.

Aside from flinch - you would use a rifle primer as this is a rifle caliber - the the action is a cannon breech for a rifle.

I have been reloading for less than a year. With little Expierence I have stuck to Winchester primers. I have made some Errors, Such as a pistol primer in a 7.62 X 39. I have been told these will Slam fire, But have not had any hands on Expierence with it, and most if not all the poorly loaded rounds are gone. My Former Employee now owns a 10 MM EAA, and loaded some handgun bullets with Rifle primers, he did not read the box. The pistol would not hit the primer hard enough to fire the rounds. Out with the bullet puller and a Re-Do. As are as I can tell, there has been no damage to the EAA or the SKS.

I honestly don't know anything about them, For all I know these could be 10-20 years old... every one has gone bang so far!
