Perplexing isn't it?You don't want to deal with 20 small primer pocket brass? But you're willing to waste hours reaming them out?
ATK, actually - the parent company of CCI, Federal, Speer, and others. You will find SPP 45ACP with at least four ATK headstamps - Federal, CCI, Blazer, and Speer.Federal does it most out of any of the manufacturers I've seen.
A guy asks a question and he gets slammed by the peanut gallery. I don't see it as hours of work, right now I'm trimming out some 38 brass that the primer end broke off when punched leaving the sides of the primer in the pocket. It’s not taking that long to ream them out. But I just asked a question as I don't shoot the 45 enough and didn't want to get involved with the SPP brass. Also I enjoy reloading and am always looking for the next project.Perplexing isn't it?
I'm not a psychologist but I think this is a case of ORD (Obsessive Reaming Disorder).
How big a wreck depends on how good you are at feeling what your press is doing? I figured I only had LPP brass but as soon as I tried to prime the SP brass I could tell by the sound and the feel of the handle that the primer was not going in the hole. My first thought was did I break a decapping pin as it felt like there was still a primer in the case. Once I pulled the case from the press and looked at the small PP I knew what was up.I have yet to load my first .45. I'm wondering how good of a wreck is forthcoming on the LNL when a spp brass gets in there.
I bought 1000 .45 acp from one of the vendors that posts items for sale on THR. I knew they were not sorted between LPP and SPP brass. I think I ended up with about 880 +/- LPP and 85 or so SPP (The rest were a few odds and ends of 40's and 1 .45 gap) So now I have 85 or so spp brass to deal with. I wouldn't worry about them other than trying to load progressive and getting one of the darn things in the mix.
I took me 2 passes through them to find all of them - I think.
