I have encountered Blazer, Speer and Win NT 45 acp cases with small primer pocket. I sort out after tumbling and toss them.Jumping Frog wrote:It started with the lead-free rounds (they often have "NT" for non-toxic on the headstamp). I've seen small primer .45 cases from Blazer and Federal. Maybe others, but I don't recall right now.rm9792 wrote:Small primers in .45??? I hae loaded over 10k rounds of range pick up brass (very mixed lots) and never seen small primers in them. Do you mean regular and magnum large pistol? I have used magnum primers on accident and it shot just the same.
I also will pull the WCC headstamps as these seem to sometimes have a crimped primer.
