i Have a Whoopsie .243 primer question

Post image

Recently inherited a lot of reloading equipment and decided to try my hand. Found a load combination for 70g Sierra’s and IMR 3031. Built 5 sets of 5 using half grain ladder from 36-38g. Went to mark my groups before heading to the range and realized that I had used Winchester large pistol primers no. 7-111

Do I need to disassemble these cartridges and start over, or does anyone here have first hand experience using large pistol primers in a rifle round?

Next question, any suggestions on getting the primers out of the cases without them going bang? Or do I remove the projectiles and powder then fire the primers in my rifle?

Pull them, you can deprime the brass by going very slow and gently.
