Fairly new to reloading and need veteran input. I've been loading .45 ACP with 5.2 gr Bullseye powder, 230 FMJ bullets, and CCI large pistol primers for range/target use. I have purchased some .45 small primer brass and want to load those for range/target use. My question is do I have to adjust the powder amount when switching to the small primers and if so, what amount of powder is recommended?
