Small and large primer .45 on a Dillon 650 question.

[mikeinctown]

I grabbed 1500 .45 cases today at a show to start loading for my new 1911. I wound up needing to sort them and have several hundred (300-400) small primer and the rest large primer. At $30/750 casings which had already been tumbled, it was worth the sorting.

Aside from switching the primer setup over to the large primer/small primer, everything else should remain the same, correct? All dies, powder measure, seating depth, etc.? Assuming that I am already doing 9mm and .40S&W, wouldn't small primer .45 actually be an advantage? The small primer was all federal and blazer.

Appreciate any insight.

Everything you say here is correct.

[ReloaderFred]

Yep, other than the primer size, everything else is the same.

Hope this helps.

that's why many like the SP 45s so you don't have to change the primer set up
watch your blazer brass I have found some in past that was berden primed. but all were LPs

Whoever decided to switch 45ACP to SP should be sentenced to a life if cleaning primer pockets.

They do bring things to a grinding halt if you miss sorting one out from the rest.
