Poll: Small Primer 45 ACP what are people doing with it?

[Overkill777]

Sort it and save it. Eventually I will load some of it up for use in those times where it's hard to collect your brass. Like in the woods or something.

I built this device that detects a small primer pocket and will cull it while I am loading.

I use the small primer brass along with moon clips in my 45 ACP revolvers, the small primer is easier to set off than the large so I can get a slightly better trigger pull using them.

Sell Them. I'd buy them...

Sort it and save it. I think it's awesome. Should I run low on one size I can use the other.

I use Blazer SP as my primary brass.

Dumb Idea

It was a dumb idea to take a 100 year old design and arbitrarily redesign it. It was the classic answer to a question no one asked.
I throw them into the recycle can and bring them to the recycling station. Brass is brass to them.

I use them, just load them before or after switching primer sizes. You gotta cull them anyway.

I have a about 5k small primer and about twice that many large primer. I keep them separate. I will go out and shoot only small or large but never together. Really not that hard.

I have not loaded any small primer 45acp brass for the simple reason that I have thousands of large primer brass and I don't seem to have any small primer 45acp brass.

I save them up until I have a couple hundred of them. I then load them. I save those to shoot for places I know I am going to lose it anyway. I also have a few hundred steel cased rounds for going to the places that won't let people pick their own brass. They can have the steel cases.

I'm with the "chuck 'em" class. I have so much large primer that it's not worth it to me. Don't even want to worry about the possibility of missing a small one.

At one time, in decades past, small primer .45 ACP was rare, a relic from the 20s or 30s.

I have plenty of the large primer pocket 45 ACP cases that will last the rest of my life, if I pick up any now they go in my recycle bin.. William

I use it for woods walks with my .45's where I don't plan to pick up my empties. In actual range testing, I've found no difference in accuracy with small primers vs. large primers. Rod
