Reloading primers using match heads

For SHTF... I prefer "no assembly required" ammo.... but that's just me, and I have a big basement :-)

According to a number of anthropological interviews with native cannibals from a variety of different tribes... the fingers are the tastiest part. I cannot verify this and make of it what you will.

I can recommend a nice cabernet/sauvignon

Nope, a nice Chianti and fava beans.

Doesn't this kind of contradict using specific primers for specific loads(small pistol, small pistol magnum, etc etc). I understand it's a shtf scenario, but if this works without any problems, then why won't using any primer of the correct size (small, large, magnum) work?
I reload (3 years now...still in my infancy) and use what's recommended...but my mind wonders lol.

The difference is something that maybe will go bang when you are in need and have no other option and things that give repeatable ballistics without having squib loads or over pressuring your firearm. Similar to the difference in what you are willing to eat when you go to a nice restaurant or if you are starving to death.
