Nearly half of my .45 brass is Federal Champion. It takes small pistol primers. Everything else I have takes the large primers. As stated, .40 takes small pistol primers. $46 per 1k seems rather expensive to me. I do buy in bulk on line so the prices I pay are lower. Right now it is hard to find primers on line. When you do find them, you need to order several thousand at a time to off set the shipping and HAZ-MAT charges. I normally get 10k or more at a time and that gets me better rates even with all the other fees added.
