I have a few 45 cases with spp and a large amount for lpp. What is the performance difference? Is there an advantage of one over the other?
I'm just trying to gain knowledge from this. Exactly what is "app" ?I started like everyone else with the lpp brass, and found a few app brass cases at the range while I scavenged. After a little while I had enough to load up a box of 50 with app so I did.
It's a thing where I only shoot one type at a time for exactly that reason. It's not exactly a pain because I sort by headstamp already.I have not shot at a range where I had an opportunity to pick up range brass in decades. So, as far as I'm concerned, they are "fake news" and do not exist since I've never seen one.
I would not expect any difference in performance that I could see.
Seriously, if a small pistol primer 45 ACP case did get into my mix, I'd trash it. It would be a pain to keep the cases segregated.
If small pistol primer 45 ACP cases became the standard, I'd embrace them but it would take me a long time to consume all the large pistol primer brass that I have on hand.
It’s not just federal. Also Speer, blazer, maybe more.There is no performance issue. It is just Federal being an idiot and making reloading more difficult for us.
For OCD types, you need to separate both by HS and primer size. If you’re fortunate enough to purchase a single size primer for .45 and then recover and only reload those, then you don’t need to worry. I’m one of the range recovery brass squad so it’s second nature to separate .45s in two ways.Seriously, if a small pistol primer 45 ACP case did get into my mix, I'd trash it. It would be a pain to keep the cases segregated.
View attachment 957510 I vaguely recall reading an article when I was researching .400 Cor-Bon; essentially 45 acp cases loaded to higher chamber pressure had fewer issues with primer flattening using small pistol primers in cases made to accommodate them.
Maybe someone can help in citing the article
