Federal 45ACP ammo with small primers.

[PedalBiker]

I got some 230g FMJ ammo made by Federal. I opened the box and was surprised to find small pistol primers - I checked again to make sure it wasn't 45GAP, but it was 45 Auto.

Has anyone seen this?

Yep, it's come up here before. If you reload with a progressive press, keep the SP and LP brass separate.

It's all I use. When you're done with em, if you want to trade regular 45 brass for em, let me know.

Winchester White Box for Wal Mart had small primers several years ago. I assume they still do. It sure brought my reloading in a Dillon Square Deal B to halt when I got into that fired brass!

I just bought some WWB last week, it had large pistol primer.
Fiocchi is using SP primers also.

Sauer beat me too it. I just got a box of Fiocchi blue box that had SP.

It is a pain in the $%^%% for reloading. On more than one occasion I've buggered a primer trying to get it into one of those small holes.

Also of note, S&B brass is notorious for having extremely tight primer pockets. They use large pistol, but it can be a real bear getting a new primer into a once fired casing.

S&B brass is top notch though.

Like I mentioned earlier, I use SP brass. I shoot revo in USPSA and I have 12,000 Federal small primers.

I get all my brass back.
