The single shots can use small magnum rifle primers fine BUT revolvers might not reliably pop them. I had issues with too light strikes with RedHawks. Stick to “magnum” small pistol and you should be fine. Shotgun fast flake powders like Unique etc. you can use “standard” small pistol.

Retaining as much neck tension as possible is helpful too and not over crimping. Going nuts crimping can undo the small neck’s grip. Neck tension is a lot stronger than a crimp. Treat it like a bottleneck rifle round with moderate crimp.

I shoot a 310 gr. Cast bullet (1500-1600 fps; 9.5” RH) but I consider it THE max weight for a multi chamber revolver application due to possible bullet pull with recoil. Lighter bullets have a notable easier time of it.
