Yes, the Small Rifle Primer is slightly larger than the small pistol primer but the dimension difference is in the "height", not diameter which is .175" for both rifle and pistol. In most cases a small pistol primer will fit tightly but will be slightly more recessed when used in a rifle case using the small rifle primer. Not a big amount as the dimension difference is due to different cup thicknesses. Here's where it gets even more interesting. A magnum small pistol primer has a thicker cup in order to retain extra pressure and keep from blowing out through the firing pin strike crater. That's also the case for the small rifle primer. It's best to use the right primer but as long as the "substitute" in the rifle case was a "magnum" small pistol, it will be less of a problem than one might think. |

i use aa2230 in my bolt and get .45 cof an inch group with 5 shots from a factory savage. it will be a smaller group but the 5th shot pulled some from barrel heat. aa2230 is made specifically for the 223. i just bought a 8 pound keg of aa2230 for about 125.00 if my memory serves me right from powder valley. powder valley has great powder prices but you need to order 32 to 48 pounds of powder to make it worth your while due to shipping costs. mash man, every gun is differant to what powder it likes. alot will shoot the same powder but primer,amount of powder and o.a.l. may vary too |
