Check your primer pocket and you will find that they are exactly the depth of the proper primer. A good reloading press is capable of crushing the primer into the case, causing a partial collapse of the primer sidewalls in order to fit them flush with the case. So technically they will work, but why would one do that when the right primer is available at your local gun shop??? Also, I do know that rifle primers are hotter than standard pistol primers, but have no idea if it makes any difference??
Trade those rifle primers off at your next gun show for large pistol primers or give them to another reloader.
