All:
I have read a number of the posts about using rifle primers in pistol loads. Consensus is using small rifle in small pistol loads is ok (assuming the gun can punch the primer), but not the other way around because of piercing. All of the advice says "work up the load". Can someone tell me in fact whether small rifle primers cause higher pressures than small pistol primers?
I am trying to figure out if a published, minimum load is an ok place to start, or if I need to start lower and work up to that.
Thoughts appreciated.
Thank you.
