Sir, not always. A few months ago I mistakenly primed a small batch of once-fired .45 Colt cases with WLRs instead of WLPs, and the primers did not protrude. The cases were MagTech, CBC headstamp.

As LR primers are longer than LP, that they did not protrude from a pistol case is quite odd.
I don't know whether large rifle primers are hotter than their pistol counterparts or not. I do know I use SR primers exclusively for all small primer applications. I need SR's for the .223 and the extra wall strength for my .38 Super loads. I decided it would prevent errors and simplify inventory by using SR's in all my small primer applications; notably .40 S&W.
