[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3683729, member: 15054"] So are you saying this would be dangerous for a non experienced reloader? Or dangerous for all reloaders? I have stuck pistol primers in .223 cases and fired them with great pressures to the point of piercing a primer. At book max loads I had no issues with pistol or rifle small primers in a .223 case in a bolt gun. Only when I was testing primer cup strength and way over book max did I see a pierced primer. Large pistol primers I have not shot in rifle cases but I have shot large rifle primers in 45acp and some went off and some did not because the cup was too hard. The 45 acp was using .308 cases cut down and swagged to make 45 shot shells. For reliable ignition I needed to use large pistol primers. If you are not making max loads I really see no issues. No where in my post did I say make a max load with these. I spoke of crayon and wax loads without powder. Maybe I am missing something in your interpretation of what I posted. [/QUOTE]
