Small pistol primer brass 45acp
« on: May 31, 2025, 08:14:10 pm »
Finally experienced a small primer brass problem. What a PIA!
Locked the machine right up, needing dis-assembly to get it back up and running.

( I purchased new LP slide because one slightly deformed and needed tweaking)bThank you Bruce!

Not sure how I got the sp case as I only try to re-use my fired brass, but…

Does anyone know which manufactures use small pistol?
I am not sorting/checking visually, which adds very little time but is another step.

Anyone have any suggestions for quick identification or separation?

One thing to look for!

My one piece of SPP .45 was CCI Blaser.

My club collects all the range brass and recycles it for our junior program.
Going through the brass bucket at my club found almost a dozen or so, also CCI Blaser.

No others so far.

I know that Federal has made a small primer version of their 45 ACP case.    A few years back I put out a WTB for 2000 pieces once fired Federal brass on the Cast Boolets forum.   I probably ended up with 50 or so pieces with small primer pockets.

It doesn't matter how many times you go through them, there is always one more.
