@stumpy
I will have a look soon for you. Not sure how many I have. But happy to swap.

I only have 300.
Have heaps of large pistol.
Happy to swap the300 .

Sorry, I thought I had more.

Why dont you just use the small rifle?
Not trying to be a smart arse or anything. I only use small rifle for pistol and 223. Works well.

Same here

Yup. Small rifle for everything that takes a small rifle primer.
9mm and 40 S&W eat them.

Ditto

i thought the rifle had a longer cup , and therefore could not be used .... but if you guys say you use em , then i will , except for the 300 im swapping with jim160 ....cheers

Hadnt heard that one. I thought just different burn rate and "burn splatter"/heat.

Just push them in harder.

All good for me though,small rifle and N320 on the pistol loads.

Rifle primers have a harder shell than the pistol primers. For a sluggish firing pin strike, they may not fire.
That's what I have been told anyway.
But from what people say here, that may not be the case.

The dimensions of both are identical, the cup material is just a bit stronger to provide safety at rifle pressures in small rifle thats all.

FWIW I only ever used Small pistol primers in my revolver, everything else got Small rifle.
Revolvers we sometimes a little picky (weaker hammer springs)??
