Anyone loading small primed .45?
What load adjustments between large and small primed? Current load: 200gr. plated SWC over 5 gr. Titegroup. CCI primers. Suggestions/comments appreciated. BGF |

Wait until you're cranking out loads with large primers and a small primer case is mixed in. Quoted:

I never knew there was a small primer cases for 45. 
Is there any advantage? Wait until you're cranking out loads with large primers and a small primer case is mixed in. Sounds exciting.
My brass reserves are plentiful but I'll have to keep an eye on that when I get my cases back from shooting a stage. Sounds like someone just decided to screw with me by making small primer cases. I can't think of a single advantage. |

Keep it the same .
And shoot them at the range Take ten rounds with the same powder and bullet (dif primer) Shoot five shot groups at the same distance with large and small see if there is and change Boom just like that your done.... Thats all i got i done have a crono |

I can't think of a single advantage. I just let my squad know I am shooting SP brass. When they pick up their 45 brass, they collect most of mine and give it back. No more brass chicken bobbing for me!

Did any of you see that BLUE PRESS article where the old timer blew his primer system into the roof because he hit a small pistol primer case in his large primer batch? 
How frickin hard are you seating primers to do that? Shoot... I can feel and stop priming when I hit a missed crimp.

I ALWAYS inspect all my cases before even starting to process them, so I catch small primer .45 cases pretty well. It's not a bugaboo if you pay attention.
The ammo makers found that A) it was easier to only have one "clean" primer, B) there was no ballistic disadvantage to using that one primer in traditionally large primer rounds, and C) since they aren't worried about reloaders, there's no reason for them to care about "confusion." ALWAYS CAREFULLY INSPECT ALL OF YOUR BRASS, EVERY TIME. That keeps you from wasting effort on crap cases, but it also helps you keep from hurting yourself. |

Pretty easy to do when your cranking at 700-900 rounds per hour on a Dillon 650. |

I just sort them out after SS media tumble, then run them accordingly. ... then they all get lumped back together in a 762 ammo can. |

Is there any advantage? If being frustrating is considered an advantage for a reloader, then yes... Otherwise, they were introduced for "green" lead-free primers and I think they have become more common from there. As for reloading them, I just seperate them out and run a batch of 1-2k when I have enough build up. I use the same charges. |

Quoted:
I kick out 500 at most in one sitting and am starting to go batty. 
Never used the 650 though... just the 550b Quoted:

Never used the 650 though... just the 550b That's pretty damn fast for a 550. I crank up the music and hit that 650 like a tard on a drum set til I'm out of primer tubes.
I do take my time with the rifle ammo, especially with case prep, but pistol ammo is high speed quick and dirty. |

Quoted: One advantage is that I don't have to change my primer set up as often. The only thing I load at present that takes a large primer is 45 ACP. Small primer ACP is a welcome change. |

Quoted: SPP .45 acp is the worst idea ever thought of by ammo mfgers. Really messes things up for reloaders. I thought we had SAAMI spec for a reason? |

Quoted:
I only load .223, 9mm and .45. Small primer .45 is a welcome change for me.. Quoted:

Will take any that folks out there don't want! Also only load them and 9MM with Remmy 61/2's. Nobody wants those either. It is a win/win for me! Have to admit I do have one package of LP primers but those I bought by accident mixed in with LR primers so I can plug the hole in a 45LP if I snag any. |
