WinClean Brass

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · January 21, 2009, 10:13 PM

I found some WinClean .45ACP rounds in the bottom of the closet. Has anyone reloaded this brass before? I know these use small pistol primers, but does this affect burnrate or amount of powder to use. I use titegroup, so if anyone has any experience, I would appreciate the help. Thanks guys!

Your question has appeared several times on this and othe forums. Yes, you can reload the small primer 45acp brass made by Winchester, Federal and probably others. I do not recall where I read this, but you can use your usual 45acp recipe for reloading this SP brass. You will "suffer" approximately 30fps less velocity due to use of the SP.

Load it. I use the same charge in it as in the lg primer. It shoots just fine.
