45 ACP Brass with Small Pistol Primers

[wellerjohn]

I'd spit on that bastard!

I guess I've just been lucky? But in 20 years of loading 45 ACP I have never had any SP 45 cases. Not sure how that happened? Maybe just didn't buy any Federal ammo?

If you are willing to sell the small primer 45 ACP brass at a good price, I would be interested. tcruse@trlx.com

I've got a giant green folgers plastic tub full of the bastages for when I'm pre-inspecting my brass before it goes into the Dillon. The person who came up with that idea should be drawn and quatered.

What would you offer?

I've set the small primer stuff aside to load with hollow points for hunting pigs since the brass will inevitably be gone

I reload it.
For ranges that won't let me pick up my brass.

Best idea I've ever heard! I used to run ads on Calguns to swap the small primer brass for large primer brass. Always found someone willing to trade 1-to-1. But this idea is a good one!!

I will use this method to get rid of my accumulation of these godforsaken travesties of the reloading world!

Well, I am ready for all .45ACP to be small primer. Then will need only to stock one size primer.

I just shove it all aside in the event that I still need to shoot .45 ACP, but have no more large pistol primers.

The only company I know that makes .45 Auto brass with small pistol primers is Federal/CCI.

They have a unique case forming process that uses far less brass, and it happened just when large pistol primers were almost impossible to find.

They experimented with SPP and found they worked just fine. They just did not advertise this little fact.

Anyone on the firing line would not have noticed either.

Finally, every reloader should sort his brass by head-stamp, ream & clean the primer pocket -- whups -- that's a SPP pocket in a .45 case?

Why the big surprise?

Be well.

If you do that you are probably the only one.

The big surprise is over 100 years of large primers in 45 ACP and now some are small.

He's not. I sort my range pick-ups, and clean the primer pockets, too. At least the first time I load it.

It had nothing to do with large pistol primers being scarce. Federal introduced NT (non toxic or lead free) primers about 10 years ago for handgun ammunition. It was just easier (aka: cheaper) to make .45 brass with sp pockets then make a LP primer in the NT version.

How does this happen?

I used to hate small primer 45 but now I just sort it all out and actually prefer the small primer. People usually avoid grabbing it up at the range and I have enough of it to take care of most of my shooting needs. I like not having to switch over my press to a different primer size too.
