My local RFD wouldnt let me buy pistol primers and i didnt have a pistol on my license, so just been using cci small rifle primers, they work for me
Most rfd will not sell them to you unless you have a pistol calibre rifle on your fac. I tried pistol rather than small rifle, did not notice any difference...the pistol primers are shallower, seat deeper than the small rifle.

I've been using both for years and I can't tell any difference between them. I believe that the rifle primers are slightly hotter to ignite rifle powder and the metal may be slightly heavier, but not that I've noticed. I've never had a problem buying either from any of the RFDs that I've used. If they don't know me they just check that I have reason to have them, ie, FAC. I don't remember any of them checking what was on it. You can buy primers for blank firers for stage or re-enactments without an FAC.

I tried winchester, they were pants at 1 grain lil gun less than my normal load I was getting pierced primers! Evidently pistol primers are softer, I'd try magnum pistol if I were you, designed for higher pressure. I may try these as I bought some for the .357 but I've picked up 900 fed205m for £20 so I'll probably just stick with those
Thanks for looking
I tried pistol primers once I thought accuracy was better with my usual Remington 7 1/2s. I tried 6 1/2s once ended up with pierced primers in hornet & .223, never again.
Wouldn't sell pistol primers. Cos you haven't got a pistol. Isn't that retarded!
I use cci 500. Small pistol for my hornet. Works perfectly
Never had an issue!

I have used small rifle and pistol primers in my Hornet. Didn't notice any difference in the ballistics no did the foxes and rabbits. I use CCI 400 small rifle primers.
