This is why I love this forum. Been using small and or large rifle/pistol primers in the same loads with no issues. As long as they torch off, I consider them good. You bring up good points.We've had this discussion a few times with new reloaded. I've been loading for a little over 20yrs a couple of the others have been loading and gunsmithing for 50+ yrs. Great guys to learn from. Using small rifle or small pistol magnums in pistol loads is fine if your not using a striker fire. Some sticker fire will ignite the heavier cups. The 5 M&P's that I have will all ignite them. A hammer gun will ignite them with no problem. Now this is where things change you shouldn't use small pistol and for the most part small pistol magnums in a rifle. The cup on these are to thin and the fire pin can puncture the primer cup. If you have a light spring on your rifle firing pin then it's a trial and error. A punctured primer cup isn't going to blow you up but it's not the best thing for you firing pin and the carbon blow back in to the firing pin and spring area. So the trial if your rifle shoots small mag pistol try the small pistol if it punctures then stick with the mags. Kind of like the trial and area with a pistol load 10-20 rounds of small rifle if you pistol ignites them you have options if not you stuck trying to find small pistol and good luck with that one.
Now all that said I do keep separate ammo storage for anything I load with rifle primers. That way when I get a different gun in if it won't ignite the rifle I don't have a mix that ends up getting wasted.
So for the long write but this is something I have been doing for the last 15+yrs and learned from some that are highly knowledgeable and almost as long as I've walked this planet.
A friend had some at his last little gun show--they were $10 a pack tho & they were NOSNow that was interesting and informative. Now where to buy a primer in 2022???
