Large wont fit. There is only the magnum and standard choice ... or going with pistol primers, which would be a bad idea.

In no way, can small pistol primers be used in 223?
I did the same thing, they work great. I Loaded small pistol primers{ federal 205} in . 223 casinge, shot across the course in a service rifle match, no problems. No difference in point of impact from the rifle primers and no damage.
Along with that, what primer does 556 use?
400For most standard loads in cases requiring small rifle primers.yellow
450 Magβ | Magnum primer for ball propellants. | blue |
No.41/5.56MM | Military small rifle primer with NATO sensitivity. | β |
BR4 | Benchrest small rifle primer for critical accuracy needs. | black |
One way or another, can you use CCI 450 primers for 223?
Indeed you can. They are my go to small rifle primer for almost everything. I may find some other primer shoots better for a particular load, but they usually shoot very well for every small rifle case cartridge I have (and that is a lot of them).

308 brass, large or small primers??? The large primers have a larger flash and will ignite the powder collumn quicker. The small rifle primers have a slightly smaller, cooler flash and will cause a not so violent ignition of the powder collumn.
Chances are, those magnum small pistol primers aren't any hotter/harder than small rifle primers. The short answer is yes, you can use magnum primers for 9mm.
The main difference between the two is the rifle primer cup is thicker than the pistol primer cup. You could shoot pistol cartridges with rifle primers and not have a problem.
Small rifle magnum is good to go in 223. Harder primer cup has less potential for a slam fire than regular small rifle primers. Never have had a slam fire with regular primers, either.
Primer size (large, small) Some cartridges require a large pistol primer (45acp, 44 special, 44 magnum, β¦) while others require a small pistol primer (9mm, 38 special, 357 magnum, β¦).
OP, another vote for both the 300 Blackout and for using them (depending on brand) in pistol calibers. I've had good luck with small rifle primers - Remington (including the 6 1/2 size), Tula, and Winchester in 9MM, 40 S&W, and 38 Special.
Remington 7 1/2 is my go to primer on anything with a BR case. This primer seams to work good with BR cases. Yes this primer is considered a magnum primer, and if you look at Precision Shooting's Benchrest primer, they did a comparison of primers in an article in precision shooting some time back.
The only difference between a magnum primer and a standard primer is the priming compound. "... magnum primer does is make more gas..." They make no gas at all. They merely burn a bit hotter for a bit longer.
Magnum primers are about the powder used. The cup is exactly the same as a regular primer. Pressures might go up a tick but nothing bad will happen if your buddy uses 'em. However, as mentioned, any time you change one component you need to work up the load again.
H322 and Varget powders are two solid choices, both from Hodgdon. They're ideal for small 40 grain varmint bullets. Alliant Power Pro Varmint is another exceptional powder for varmint rounds. If you prefer a slightly heavier bullet, you really can't go wrong with Hodgdon H335 powder.

There's some data in I think in the Speer manual on using magnum primers in . 223.... They are mainly used with ball powders that are harder to light off than stick powders.... As per normal you will want to back the charge off and work up with them...
Yes, they are different. Different primers deliver different pressures and velocities. They are also different in terms of their physical properties. For example, some are easier to ignite than others and require lighter strikes than others.
bajadudes. I use federal #205 small rifle primers for 9mm minor no problem.
Small pistol and small rifle primers are exactly the same size (which isn't quite the case for large primers), so there's no problem there.

regular primers to magnum The magnum is a little hotter, but does not add any pressure to the load.
If you are very determined to use them, apply a large rifle primer pocket uniformer which will mill down the bottom of the primer pocket a little and let them seat right. Small rifle primers work just fine in 9mm and . 38 Super. They give less velocity than small pistol magnum.
Magnum primers are "hotter" than standard primers. CCI/Speer typically recommends that magnum primers be used with ball (or spherical) powders, when loading magnum or other large capacity cases, and when it is anticipated that the cartridges will be used at temperatures below 20 degrees F.
