Yes this is correct, However, be cautious of your loads as the pistol primers have a softer cup and cannot handle hot loads. I would recommend magnum pistol primers be used in a pinch but keep away from max loads.

A special note to AR15 reloaders. I have used the small pistol primers for 223 but be cautious of the primer dent you get on rifle primers from the firing pin striking the primer when the bolt closes, you could end up with a light hammer stike actually firing the round. Pistol primers are not recommended in the AR rifle or carbines.

Post by: Gutpile on February 24, 2009, 01:57:08 PM: White Elephant is out of small rifle primers too. Have been in 3 times in the last 10 days or so and they're dry. Lots of Large Rifle though. (Valley Store) FWW Cabelas, Joes, Sportsmans Warehouse, and White Elephant are all out.

I'm buying as many as I can afford as soon as I see them. I'm very tired of this.
