and the rifle brass normally uses rifle primers. Since the 500 Linebaugh was registered with SAAMI it uses large pistol primers. Also if you have one of our 500 Linebaugh and the gun has an action job, be sure and use large pistol magnum primers. Rifle primers are harder than pistol primers and a lighter hammer strike could cause misfires. A rifle's firing pin is usually around 6 to 8" long with a long heavy duty spring, whereas a revolver has a lightweight firing pin and a little hammer spring that quite often won't set off a rifle primer.
