Are CCI small pistol and small rifle primers the same?

Here is where math and physics can get you hurt. Small Pistol Primers (SPP) and Small Rifle Primers (SRP) are virtually identical in size as are the primer pockets of their respective cases. This does not mean that they can be substituted for each other. The SRP still has a much thicker cup and hotter ignition.

What size primer is used for 357 magnum?

Pistol primer parameters Some cartridges require a large pistol primer (45acp, 44 special, 44 magnum, …) while others require a small pistol primer (9mm, 38 special, 357 magnum, …). Depending on what cartridge you are reloading, you need to buy the proper size primer for that application.

Can you use magnum primers in non magnum calibers?

You can use magnum primers in large rifle rounds but I wouldn’t use large rifle primers in magnum rounds. I shot a 7/300 weatherby for competition and used Fed210M primers with H1000 powder and did well.

Is it safe to use magnum primers in standard loads?

I pretty much exclusively use magnum primers. You’ll be fine as long as you start new load development and start on the lower side.
