Large rifle primers (if they are manufactured correctly) are .008" taller than the large pistol primers.
This is not the case with the small primers.
To convert Starline .445 brass to accept large rifle primers I had to drill out the primer pockets (as described on their website).
Some took out a noticeable amount of brass, some less, so they are now all uniform to boot.
I, for one, would not load them in pistol pockets without deepening the pockets to standard large rifle dimensions.
The primer faces should all be sub-flush to the base of the cartridge.
This also avoids crushing the primer pellet which will lead to inconsistent results.
