45 ACP Brass ?

[pt4u2nv]

I am finding Small and Large primers in the same 45ACP cases. Any difference in loads or is the data for small and large the same? I cannot find any data supporting the small primers at all........ It does appear that most of it is Blazer brass.

You realize you can't/shouldn't reload aluminum Blazer brass?

If you can't find any data for SP (and there is none I have never seen), the loads are the same for both size primers.

This Blazer brass is real brass cases not the aluminum you usually see with the blazer headstamp

The brass small pocket blazers can be reloaded, load data is the same, just different size primers. I have loaded 200 blazer rounds 8 times, total of 1600 thru my gun, no problems.

Blazer comes in both brass and aluminum flavors. I use both Lg & Sm primer brass. I have not done a side by side comparison for velocity. I suspect that all else being relatively equal the SMP might be a tad slower.

YMMV

Just load as usual for both primer sizes. You'll find small primed .45 acp brass from CCI, Federal, Blazer (CCI) and Winchester. I've yet to see it in Remington, but I'll ask them at the SHOT Show if they intend to make it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I found brass for sale and they also advertise small and large primer availability.
