Small primer 45 acp brass - Page 2

I saw a 'YouTube' video that featured a sorter, flipped the small primer brass out of a Dillon progressive.
Don't know if the guy later reloaded the brass or not...

I don't see any performance issues with small primer brass, so I'm inclined to reload them once the press sorts them for me, but frankly, I just don't road a ton of .45 ACP anymore.

I like the small primer 45s because then I don't have to keep a supply of two different sizes of primer. Since there seems to be little, if no firing difference, why be required to have to keep both sizes?

No different performance wise in my guns. I save 'em, do a special run and use them without picking them up for field walks here on the farm. Chasing auto brass in the fescue is one of my pet peeves. Rod

I will take the SP brass once I remove it from the 550b and straiten out the mess. I will then prime it in the single stage press and throw the small primed casing in a bin. When I start a run on the 550 I by-pass the priming stage and use the primed cases as "test" rounds.

When I get 100 or more I take them to the snobby indoor range near work that discourages policing brass and shoot and leave behind. I also save any split cases and leave them behind as well.
