My Gawd, everybody is just so touchy these days.
Must be the price of gas creating all this civil unrest and agitation.
I'm calling for a more civil tone when talking to people on this forum.
Otherwise we're all just a bunch of assholes.
Both Winchester (WIN NT, Winchester Non Toxic) And Federal are making cases with Small Primer Pockets. They reload just like the ones with large pockets, just not at the same time.
You definately have to sort them out before you do anything else, or it will cause problems. You actually need to look at them twice as they are easy to miss.
If you are going to load both styles of cases then you need to load all of your LP case first as the lp won't go into the small primer pocket. This is no big deal, you remove the offending case and move on.
If you're loading the small cases and a large one comes thru, then the primer will go into the case but not stay there, and you have an unprimed round which you may or may not notice. This is not the end of the world, you'll find it eventually, as there will be a trail of powder, and it won't go off.
I use range brass for my .45's as most of it is once fired when I pick it up and I don't hotrod the round. And since the .45 is a relatively low pressure round I can get away with many firings before a case fails. I have never had one fail yet with midrange loads.750-800FPS
.40 S&W is another story and we've covered that in detail previously. I only reload Winchester brass for that round, and push thru size every case.
Oh, Starline brass is about as good as it gets. It is definately the way to go for Straitwall Magnum pistol rounds, nothing else is even close.
