I feel for you and have had similar experiences but not to such a large degree.

Brass is at a premium right now, and depending upon the price you paid may determine how badly you were ripped. The last thousand .45 ACP I bought was around 80 bucks including shipping cost. I have encountered about forty small primers in the five to six hundred I have reloaded.

It seems the onset of small primers in .45 will become even a larger headache for both sellers and buyers. I think we would all like to have a piece of the SOB who started the episode of small primers in .45 brass.
