So what really is the difference? I've always thought SR primers had a slightly thicker shell plate, no?

You can use small rifle primers in pistol rounds, but not the other way around. Rifle primers have a harder cup. Some subgun guys use rifle primers in their pistol loads to prevent slam fire."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I've always used small rifle in my 454, that is generally recommended. I have always assumed that their construction enabled them to handle higher pressures.
I considered large rifle in some 45WM one time based on some work a shooter had done, but found CCI LP to work best.

I've used small rifle primers to load pistol for years. The need mainly came from shooting high pressure 38 super loads mainly to prevent primer flow. Now I use small rifle to load everything.It happens to be a well thought out and reasoned dissertation on drug use and a lyrical cost/benefit analysis of various kinds of drugs, drawing the conclusion that beer is the best of them all.
