Does Norma ".45 ACP Range & Training" ammunition use Large or Small primers

[Carl N. Brown]

All I find in searchs are ads and reviews that say that the primers are boxer and noncorrosive. No size and the ads don't show the base of the cartridge.

Has anyone had any experience with "Norma .45 ACP Range & Training" ammo who can tell me the primer size?

It is a new product to me, not available locally, and I need to know before placing an on-line order.

I cannot say with any authority other than as a hobbyist but here is a pic of my 45acp case library totaling over 80 different brand (or style within brand) cases 12 of which are small primer (lower right of picture). NONE of the smalls are Norma.

Pic too small to read all the headstamps. We now know who makes small primed 46 ACP ammo, but is there any Norma brass in the large primer section of the display? We're only halfway there!

Well I presumed it was understood that if none were small primer then Norma’s were large primer. But…

And again, this is just what I have gathered, not everything gatherable

Perhaps a email to NORMA would give you a definite answer

I haven't run across any Norma .45 ACP cases but I do know that the Norma 9mm cases I picked up at the range had a smaller flash hole that stuck the decapping pin. I've since learned to toss any Norma cases I find.

Does Norma Range and Training .45 ACP use large pistol primers exclusively?

Not exclusively but for the majority it does.

Interesting to know thanks. Wonder when/why they switch? Now I have to be on the lookout to add a sample to my collection.
