Reloading for Ruger Blackhawk grafs cases, have no large pistol primers can I use large rifle primers? Can't find any info on that, would be starting loads only. Thanks

Absolutely NO. They are a different kind of animal as some might say.

Technically they will work but, like John said, NO.

I've heard of people doing it and it may work OK on some types of pistols/cartridges but personally I would not do it. The cups for the large rifle primers are thicker and longer than pistol primers. They will not load flush. I would wait on the loading of the .41 mags till the primers can be found.

Here is a good write up:

Thank you John & Allan. That was a very informational article. On the search for large pistol primers.
