Are you saying it does not change the burn rate of the powder?

A buddy of mine use to suggest using small pistol mag primers for 38 special because of the case length to insure all the powder burned, but I found it not to be necessary and a waste of small pistol mag primers.

Beside the fact that small rifle primers are made of heavier material to handle the higher pressures of rifle charges, you recommend anyone should bet their life on a need for their side arm and take a chance of a Failure to Fire because of a light strike on a rifle primer used in a pistol???

Let me know
