I found 2 Speer .45 ACP brass cases at the range yesterday that had small primers. When I double checked my reloaded brass I discovered a Speer case that had the traditional large primer so there are 2 kinds of Speer brass out there.
I thought the only .45 ACP brass that had small primers was Winchester NT but apparently that's not true. What other .45 ACP brass is out there with small primers that we have to look out for ?  |

I have seen ,Winchester,Speer and Federal NT.
NT stands for Non Toxic. Ken "A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." |

I am glad you posted on this. I have been reloading on my rock chucker for 45s and the Dillon 550b for 9mm and 40. I just changed the 550 over to reload 45s last night. I have not reloaded any 45s on the Dillon in the past but am going to start reloading a lot more and will be checking closely for the small primers as this will be a problem on the 550 as I switched it over to the large primer seater for 45 acp.

Worse yet is [nasty] Berdan primed brass.

I don't believe the Speer brass is Berdan primed.
CCI/Blazer aluminum cased ammunition is.  NRA Member, Regular Army 1985-1993, Deputy Sheriff 1982-1985 "We conclude that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. That right existed prior to the formation of the new government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense, the latter being understood as resistance to either private lawlessness or the depredations of a tyrannical government." - U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, March 9, 2007 "...what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct. We affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals. It is so ordered." --Justice Antonin Gregory Scalia, 26 June 2008, DC v. Heller |

Acording to my Hodgdon reloading manual the 45 GAP does use SP primers.
Check case lengths as the GAP cases look like ACP except for length and the small primer pockets. |
