Quote from Reloader on November 17, 2011, 4:57 amhas anyone been loading 45 acp with small primer pockets?? the brass is cheaper to purchase but not sure if its worth it. i have both a 650xl and 550b, though usually do my handguns on the 550.

Quote from Reloader on December 2, 2011, 4:30 pmAfter having found enough to reload a full box (took a couple years), I loaded a trial batch using Universal and Win small pistol primers. Then my kids and I picked up our brass and they got mixed back in. After sorting through again to pull them out I crushed 'em and put them in the recycle bin. Most came from a police range. The 1000 I bought from Dillon only had three mixed in. I beleive they were Federal and looked like new brass. Do they still make it and WHY?

Quote from Reloader on December 5, 2011, 3:01 pmThe small-primed 45ACP brass is factory-loaded with lead-free primers, for use on indoor ranges. Lead-free primers are not manufactured in a large size at this time. Almost all of this ammo is sold to PDs for indoor training.

Quote from Reloader on January 11, 2012, 1:18 amThose sp 45ap cases seem as accurate as the lp. Were I live, its way easier to find small primers so its a win win.
Dillion : Is there an pressure or speed difference for small primer brass?

Quote from Reloader on October 28, 2012, 11:52 amHow about the shell plate, in a Square deal B? what do you do when you are loading small primer cases? the regular shell plate has large primer holes, do they line up properly and work with the small primer assembly for the SDB? If not, then is there another small primer shell plate for another caliber that would work for 45ACP, for use with small primer brass?
