Found a website for once-fired brass and placed an order, mostly to save some money. Order came and everything looked good for the three pistol calibers I ordered. When I re-cleaned and de-primed my 45 acp brass I found out that of the 285 I bought, 182 of them were small pistol primer size. I only use the large pistol variety. I am just curious if this makes any ballistic difference or not. I have decided I'm not going to use them for a few reasons (some of them anal probably). If anyone of you uses these for reloading and can use them, send me a PM and we'll work something out. Otherwise they'll probably get tossed.
