I've done it without issue, but if you try it with small capacity cartridges like the 380 and 9mm be sure to not be loading near max charges of powder. Not only are rifle primer cups thicker, the priming compound is also considerably hotter. Using rifle primers along with a max load can elevate pressures above SAMMI specs. Those two cartridges are very sensitive to pressure changes. Due to the small volume capacity of the case it doesn't take much at all to push them past rated specs pressure wise.
