I load them with Titegroup or 231 and don't have any problems. I use CCI or WW SPs.

The Why is ......The mfg's did that ( put small primer pockets in .45 acp cases ) ...because the primers are Non Toxic..../ that's why the cases are marked " NT " ... or lead free primers...( I don't know if it accomplished anything .....other than raising the cost of ammo )....
Personally, I just toss them out - when I find any NT cases in .45 acp ....and don't fuss with them. |

From the other thread, the boxes I saw were 'identical' (not NT) just one box had small, other had large....

The reason that the small primers are being used more in the 45ACP is because of the trend toward the new Non Toxic primer mixture. This mixture is more powerful and it takes less of it to equal the force of the old large primer. Also the same reason for larger flash holes and crimping the primers in place, thus pressure won’t build up in the primer pocket and the primer will not back out. Sometime in the future all will be made with small primers.

45 ACP spp. lpp., I can't take it anymore, that's why I threw my 45 STI in the lake, it's such a hardship, it's beyond confusing.

Small primer,big primer? Who really cares.I load both. Same powder charge same everything other than primer. They shoot as well. It's not a big issue to sort them out.

I don't really like it. Change is bad, different is wrong! But you have to inspect your cases anyway so I just got another tub for the SP's. When I get enough I load 'em. They make good disposable cases for plinking at the deer lease and such. I use the same loads as allways and can't tell any real difference.
Don't see it's worth complaining about. |
