45ACP and Small Pistol Primers

[KCSO]

Shooting Times this month has a nice write up on 45 brass with small pistol primers. I remember somebody asked about this a while back. Here is all the data.

yea i'd like to see that i had a couple speer ones sneak in to my pile that have the exact headstamp of speer large primer at least with the NT stuff its easy to spot

it was only 2 so i chucked them

what makes them so bad is on a progressive and you dont find them till it hits the reprime station I took a hammer to the ones I found

Still being a single stage press guy after 30+ years They would be OK with me.
I do not have any but would gladly take the ones guys hate. For quite awhile all I was able to score was SP primers, and they would have done others during the shortage as well.

I scored 4K of them a month or so back
As none of the other guys wanted them after the police were done training

I just sort them and have no problems running them through the 550

I read someplace in testing they were getting smaller SD , with the small primers
