Anyone shot any yellow box UMC in 45 ACP, 230 gr? Are they brass or steel cases and large or small primer? Is it any good? triker

I've shot a lot of this stuff, as well as Winchester white box. They're all brass-cased.

They always work for me, and I've never encountered any problems of any kind.

I looked for some UMC .45 ammo, but I guess it's all locked up. So I can only "assume" that it's large primer.

WAYNO.

Winchester did that so ranges requiring NT ammo can easily ID them.
I have noticed that the CCI as well as Fed American Eagle loads that are NOT labeled as NT loadings still use the small primer anyway. And they have the standard size flash holes as well.

I load both the large and small primer cases and to be honest, I cannot discern any difference between the two cases with identical bullets and charges.

Neither can I but my L-n-L progressive sure can!!! Picking up brass around your shooting station is getting to be like purchasing seedless grapes - you gotta look 1st.
