hey all, new to the reloading scene and the forum and I realize that 45 brass has had a makeover with the primer pocket on some brass. some brass will use large primers and some small. The speer manual eludes to this change and states its ok to use the small primers and there should be no problem. My question for the community is.... what are your experiences with recipes? have you had to go up on powder charges? keep them the same? just looking for input. I have not loaded 45 yet, I'm still new to it and have only loaded 38's so far. Btw I'll be loading cast swc. thanks for any input

Just use the load for each casing, i have reloaded both but used a specific load for each i have about 100 of those smpp cases by speer, the one thing nice about them is i do not have to change my primer tube over if i was already using it for smpp's.

I dispose of all my 45 brass with small primer pockets. No real reason I'm just not loading them.

ill take em off your hands heavyopp

I keep the little bastards in a can seperate from the rest..

thanks guys

Meh, small pistol primer. After a while you'll hate them. I just toss them anytime

I come across one.

CRUNCH....LOL..

During a match last month I realized I had mistakenly purchased a box of Federals with SPP. All of this brass had been dumped in with my other brass from a previous match, so I just spent a good 15 minutes sorting through all my brass to clear out those little bastards. Major PIA, but I saved them and made dummy rounds with them for revolver reload practice, the rest are getting chucked.
