You are inspecting your cases right? Easy to toss them aside if you are.
Just finished inspecting a recondition-completed batch of 45 ACP that's been drying a couple days (from a ss pin tumble).

Found three of them little buggers - all Blazer. Into the coffee can they go.

I actually prefer the SP primed 45 ACP brass due to the fact that the 45 is the only pistol cartridge I own that takes a LP primer. If any of you guys have a bunch you want to unload just let me know. I found some online for $10 per 250 but haven't ordered any yet.

I case gauge every 45 acp round I shoot in competition but other than that I don't touch them.

Take clean cases and dump them into the roll sizer collator and after that they get dumped into the reloading machine collator.

I sort 45 ACP cases. I do not load 45 ACP cases with large flash holes. I have shot new 45 ACP rounds with small primer pockets, . I left them at the range.

Since I tumble with stainless steel pins and sort by headstamp, the small primer 45 Auto is set aside for use in lost brass matches.

That means I'm one of the &%#@)!> who blessed some of you with the small primer brass.

And if you decide to shoot the stuff at a match I'm working, it is fine since I have a good use for the small primer 45's!
