I was changing over from my .45 Colt setup in my Dillon 550B to .45 ACP. Just got the new set of dies for the ACP's. Had a bunch of brass all cleaned up and ready to go.
After cranking only two cartridges through the deprime/resize station 1, I had a problem seating the primer ... just wouldn't go. I thought that maybe it had not deprimed, so pulled the case. Primer pocket was empty and a large pistol primer was in the proper position! The primer pocket looked a little small. Upon further examination, I found that I had both Winchester and Federal brass. Setting them side-by-side it was obvious that the Winchester had the larger primer pocket, which worked fine with the large pistol primers. The Federals were definitely excavated for small pistol primers. I now have them sorted and the Federals in quarentine.
Stopped by Dunn's to get some reloading stuff and mentioned it to one of the Gurus there. He said, "I'm hearing that more and more lately. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any reloading data out for the brass with the small pistol primers, so I'd just set 'em aside until somebody comes out with the data."
Anybody know of any reloading data for the .45 ACP's with the small pistol primers?
