We do.
Every time we pull the trigger on one of our handloads.

ya boring bastards de prime them with a lee loader :D
I seem to remember Pistol Primers are thinner in the cap & slightly less in depth but I think in a pinch Magnum Pistol primers could be used, don't quote me on that ?
I would de prime myself .
At least you did prime them. I once filled 50 cases with powder before realising I hadn’t primed the cases.
I would just put it down to Covid-19, everything else that seems to be happening is.
What brand are they?
As you now know pistol primers are shorter, so if they are fully seated ...... depending on the firing pin they may not ignite.
I have used Winchester large pistol primers behind full loads in 308 ....( read 50 grains W760 under 155's ) no problems, they do tend to back out to the end of the case face.
But that is the only difference between LR and LP I have seen, its in a beefy Banard action though.
I wouldnt encourage others to do it, but I have no problem with it.
No, I didn't know that.....Just another of the many "Dunnos" in my life. :>)
They are CCi brand and tomorrow, out of curiousity I will load and fire one, (just a primed case) in the rifle to see what happens. i.e if it fires and/ or if it punctures.
Still tending to think that the labour involved in removing and replacing them using a bench press neck sizer/ deprimer combo is worth it to get a reliable trouble free 308 BANG.
Might even be able to reuse them in the BP long arms....:>)
It will fire ok and look normal it's the pressure in the case in a full noise rifle load compared to a pistol that will probably make them blow a gasket
