45acp wild bunch

This may have been beat to death but....being that so many manufacturers now use small primers in 45acp, is that causing issues with collecting your brass? And if so, what do you guys do?

After getting $90.00 for a bucket of brass and primers, I don't feel bad about it either.

It's always been a bad idea.  And it still is.  Not for collecting brass, but for trying to reload it.  Some folks resent having to sort the small from the large before reloading - A LOT.   If you keep it off of WB range, it will keep your friends friendly.

 

I toss all I find in my brass scrap bucket - after a quick squeeze with pliers to discourage salvaging it.

 

good luck, GJ

I sort them out and reload them.

It was too hard to find .45ACP here for a while, to be picky, but I do use them where there is longer grass on the floor of the range, rather than sand.

How big of a bucket of brass gets you 90 bucks?

A full one mixed with primers. Can barely move it.

Make sure there are no steel cases, live ammo or shotgun primers mixed in. Metal X rejected a load on me once for those.

Was great day.  Sold 20 lbs of spent primers and split cases for $42.00     Walked into LGS and found large pistol primers for $39.99 plus tax.   Out of pocket 56 cents    GW
