Primer question

A few days back there was a discussion about swapping out Mag primers for regular and using rifle primers in pistol cases. Now I am aware of the higher pressures generated in rifles over pistols and the fact that the material is a bit thicker in the rifle and mag primers to handle the extra pressure. All of this was discussed
My question is I seem to have an excess of Large mag pistol primers and a shortage of large rifles primers. What are the risks I will run in using mag pistol primers in rifle cases. Say in a 243 win case, any big dangers other than a misfire from a deeper primer pocket?
