The recent purchase of a .500 S&W revolver is convincing me that I need to start reloading to save money and reduce recoil for practice loads. All the information I have found point out that the .500 magnum started with large pistol primers and have since switched to large rifle primers. The brass I have saved up so far is from factory loaded ammunition. My question is how to determine the primer size for the brass? My Winchester Supreme brass does not have an 'R' on the case head. Does this mean it takes pistol primers or does it mean that factory loaded cartridges do not necessarily have the 'R' to designate Rifle primers?
Thank You,
