Very interesting point mmb713 raised about rifle primers in .44Mag cartridges.

If we were to put large pistol, large pistol magnum and large rifle primers on a scale of low pressure ignition to high, who would they stack up?

I ask this as I have far more access to large rifle primers than large magnum pistol primers and these could make for a nice compromise if between the two others...

I could stock up on large rifle and use them for both .44Mag and .308Win.
