Within the last few months i have started picking up Federal 45acp brass from several local ranges i frequent.
What i have noticed is about 60% of the Federal 45acp brass uses small pistol primers and the other 40% of the cases are using large pistol primers.
I have noticed no difference in the headstamps of the cases. They are identical. As far as the age of the brass goes, they both look brand new. Shiny brass, headstamp is clear and well defined.
Whats the story on this? Maybe one is +P and the other is standard load? With the +P load using large pistol primers?
All other 45acp brass uses large pistol primers.
I have been using 45acp ammo for years. Never used Federal ammo though and have never noticed this before.
