Loaded pistol primers into rifle?

[raceaeromini]

I have been lurking a while and I finally subscribed. Today I made a mistake I have never done in 25 years of reloading - I loaded pistol primers into my LC 308 cases.

Before I take them all apart I wanted to see if you all had an opinion. How do I get the primers out after I pull all the bullets.

Thanks in advance

Jim

Adjust your FL/Bushing/Neck die decapping rod out to the fullest length and deprime the brass.

Of course, that is, if you don't already own a depriming die.

Pistol primers are not designed for rifle pressures,cups are not as thick) Ask S&W why they changed from Lg pistol to LG rifle in their 500,460 rounds.

That's the issue. Do I have to take them apart or shoot them.

The load is 39 gr. of IMR4895 under a Speer 168 in a LC84 case. Mild load for a gas gun.

JIM. Don't shoot them, Just not worth the risk; CJ6 is right. add to that the slam fire possibility,probability almost a guarantee in the LR) with its heavy BC group and floating firing pin.After that, it's that loud ringing noise.If you know what I mean.JIM
