The .243 IS a large rifle primer cartridge. However, you should stay with standard primers unless a trusted source of information lists a magnum primer for a given load. When you change ANY one component- powder, bullet, primer- go to the starting load and work up. Magnum primers can give unexpected pressure levels with some powders.

There ARE rifles and revolvers chambered for the 44 magnum cartridge. If the weapon is marked ".44 Magnum" then it can be used in that weapon. You should know that there are other .44 caliber catridges, and THOSE weapons (44 Special, 44-40, etc) cannot use 44 magnum loads.
