Seeking primer information

[Vacuum]

Does anyone know where I could find information about using pistol primers in place of small rifle primers? Thanks for your help in advace.

Frankly I wouldn't do it. Pistol primer cups are thinner than rifle primer cups. Punctured primers is not a good thing.

I'm sure you could find someone that would be willing to do a trade.

This is the biggest problem; pistol primers will not stand up to rifle pressures. There is also a minor height difference that may cause irregular ignition, but the real problem is cup hardness.
