The .44 Magnum uses the standard Large Pistol primer.
small pistol large pistol magnum pistol small rifle large rifle magnum rifle .50 BMG These are the primers used in all pistol and rifle ammo that is commercially available. Larger, artillery type, ammunition uses much different primers, obviously.
Yes, they are. Small Rifle can be used for Small Pistol, but not the other way around. Large Rifle can be used for Large Pistol, but not the other way around.
Rifle primers are usually made of harder metal, and may not fire from the lighter strike of a handgun firing pin. More importantly, the height of a rifle primer is usually greater than a pistol primer- you may end up with a "high" primer that can bind the action, OR cause a premature firing. In general, not a good idea. There has been a primer shortage due to panic buying, but the shelves are getting restocked. You should see pistol primers again pretty soon. you would need the large pistol primers.............
No. They are the wrong diameter, 45 you need large pistol/large rifle sized primer diameter. Also rifle primers are thicker and require a heavier primer strike that some pistols can not deliver. My Springfield XDM only intermittently can set off a small rifle primer when used to load 9mm.
I assume you mean the ammo components, i.e. Primer, Small Pistol; Primer, Shotgun. You can get these either from disassembling ammo of the same category (Sm. Pistol, Lg. Pistol, Sm. Rifle, Lg. Rifle, Shotgun, or .50 MG) or you can buy them from various vendors. The Gun Runners have it almost all the time.
Centerfire pistol and rifle ammunition consists of a case, primer, powder and bullet. Shotgun shells consist of hull, primer, powder, wad and shot.
The case originated from the 30-06 family so it is usually a large rifle primer, standard or magnum, depending on the load.
Exactly what is says, a primer made for small rifle ammunition.
No.

A pistol CAN be held in one hand. A Rifle requires two hands.
