I don't know if CCI "large rifle primers" are useful for Bullseye, but I just got an email that they are available, in stock:

Using large rifle primers in pistol brass is not considered safe. Large rifle primers are a little bit taller than large pistol primers. It is possible the tolerances can add up and the large rifle primer will be taller than the primer pocket in pistol brass resulting in a possible slam fire.

Small pistol and rifle primers are built to the same dimensions so can be used in either, with the usual caveats about developing a safe load since rifle primers may be hotter than pistol.

+1. 

I think every reloading book I've read has this disclaimer in it.
