Small primered 45?

[kb4ns]

Ran across some small primered 45 brass in my recent range pickup bag. Do I need to adjust my current 45 loads any with these provided I go ahead and use small pistol primers? Do I need to only use small "Magnum" primers? Should I just chunk these? What say ye?

Are they .45 GAP shells? If so, you don't want to use them in a .45 ACP gun.

A lot of match 45 acp in the past has been made with small pistol primers what is the headstamp and check to make sure it is not 45gap

No, it's just speer small primered 45ACP. I've run across a few GAP pieces I chunked back in the bin. The GAP round is verrrry obviously different.

I'd toss them. Too big of a chance on mixing them in with the large primer cases and messing up the primer feed on your loader.

Don't chuck them!

I use only small primer 45 ACP brass. I have about 500 pieces as it is but would gladly take more.

I've only got a small handful of them - maybe 8 or so. I'd send them to you, but it's not even really worth the postage for that small a number. I'll keep setting them aside and holler at you if I ever get enough that shipping them is worth it

Sounds great, I use them for my wife's 45 ACP bolt action. I use small rifle primers for it.

Thanks again

They were sold new as non-toxic rounds, I really don't know why they used small primers.

To aggravate me.
