Let me say that I found the article yesterday after posting the subject of small rifle and small pistol primers. While informative I do not readily accept the articles information totally. The information on primer cup measurements and material was informative. The triad of cup thickness, material specification, and priming mixture/brisance are the apparent differences between small pistol & small rifle primers.

As for the application of small rifle in place of small pistol primers that’s an individual’s decision. In certain shooting disciplines and applications the use of small rifle in place of small pistol primers as been practiced and written about. I’m not advocating using one in place of the other. On the other hand I’m not being dismissive of it either. It would be of value to know the resultant pressure differences between the two primer types.
