Small Pistol Primer .45 brass is annoying!

[VERT]

Not mad. Not complaining. But dang does that stuff mess up your groove while reloading. Thanks for letting me vent this morning.

You can send it my way. I have lots of LPP .45acp but very little SPP. I'd like options on what primers I use.

I can load it easy enough. It just messes up the rhythm on the progressive because there isn’t an easy way to get it all separated.

I understand. I don't have a progressive and prime with a hand primer and wouldn't therefore be a huge issue for me.

After tumbling, i will place them, bottom up, on the kitchen table. Standing as a group, easier to pick out the evil small primer bastards when next to the normal size primer cases.

Your wife lets you anywhere near the kitchen table with brass? one time I took mine out of the wet tumbler and laid them on towels in front of the fireplace. Cats kicked it all over the family room and I caught hell for a week.

We actually get people that request them. Small pistol primers are much more available and less expensive. The key is to buy them pre-sorted in large quantities and just keep them separated. For people that do small lots, it's probably not worth the time though.

 

[IN New Guy]

I throw them away.

I've got maybe 500 LPP 45acp I'd gladly trade for your unruly SPP brass.

Didn’t JMB and his buddies develop the .45 acp with large pistol primers?
If so, then that is the only way it should be!

Well-Yes + No...
JMB and Crew picked up some 30-06 cases, cut them down, Powdered and primed them, chamfered the mouth a little, and stuffed a .451"-230 grain Ball projectile into them.
So, actually, at the start, it was a Large Rifle Primer that "Sparked" the original 230 "Ball" ammo....Bill.

PS: If you like-YOU can do that too===A LOT of work...HA.HA...

Friday night with the music on. Loading 45ACP on the progressive press and in the groove!!! Then that dreadful clunk from a SPP 45 case jams everything up.
IF THAT WON'T MAKE A GROWN MAN SAY F$%K NOTHING WILL!!!

This is where the design of the Hornady LNL really shines compared to the Dillon presses. Yanking a case off the shellplate is straightforward, and it won't dump a primer if you pass an empty shellplate slot through the priming station, either. Hitting a SPP case when you're loading LPP is still annoying, though.

It isn’t too bad on Dillon 550. You feel the primer not going in and can pull the case. Since I was left with a small pile of sized SPP brass I just pressed in the primers off the press and fed them through. I am assuming they will go bang.

Luckily, I have a few lifetimes of LPP .45 ACP brass. I don't collect .45 ACP range brass. Since, I use Dillon progressives, the SPP would be a real headache.
