So I just got back from the range and shot some of my reloads for 45 acp and some 45 acp factory federal ammo. I notice that when i was cleaning the primer pockets that the federal cartridges i bought from Wal mart had a 45 ACP head stamp with 2 dots on it and the fed reloads i had made also had a headstamp with 45 acp but no dots on it. The difference i notice was the size of the primer pocket. I checked both manuals and they both require for 230 gr 45 acp large primers. The only thing i can think of is that they are GAP, but both my lee and lyman manuals contradict each other. The lyman says small primers for 45 GAP and Lee says large primers. But i also ruled out 45 GAP because i dont think they would be shootable on my Glock 30sf. I have put as an attachment for comparison both 45 acp cartridges that i shot today. I would like to know your opinion if the ammo from wal mart is a reloadable 45 acp cartridge or not. That would be the cartridge shown on the left.
