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.
I discarded the mis-primed cases as soon as I recognized the mistake (as I was putting the remaining primers away), so I don't know how they would have shot. I've read that rifle primers are too hot for pistols, and it seemed wise to err on the side of caution.
Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
