RWS .45acp - low set primer?

Featured Replies

Anyone have experience with RWS 'match grade' in .45 acp?

 

I just got a shipment from PSA and the primers on them seem to set in the case head deeper than normal. If I run my finger across I can definitely tell its not flush.

 

Should I concerned about shooting this in my 1911?

No. Primers are intentionally set back in order to decrease the chance of detination if dropped. Older rounds such as the 45/70 Government have flush primers and were one of the last cartridges designed that way I believe for that exact reason.

 

Don't worry, your 1911's firing pin will have no problem reaching those primers!

Awesome! Thanks dude

Do not worry about it.

 

FYI, ALL primers should be lower than the case head. If not, your breech face would collide with the primer upon chambering and kaboom. These just happen to be a little more visually noticable I suppose.

+1. Your 1911 will have not problem, my XD however does not like RWS at all.
