Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Today while reloading I found a weird piece of brass. Looks like it has a smaller primer pocket. What is it(one on the left)? Edited March 24 by Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Add photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The one on the right is Starline, I believe. Someone will know the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beartrap SASS#57175 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The jerks making cheap acp cartridges are starting to use small pistol primers. Please don't use sp brass in matches. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I read on another forum that it was HSM Cowboy loads. From 2022: https://singleactions.proboards.com/thread/35088/45-colt-small-primer 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Graybeard Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hey Chili...you should be able to google cartridge headstamps to find the manufacturer. There are small primer cases starting to show up in all kinds of traditionally large primer rounds. Supposed to be something about some states ban on lead and some indoor ranges not wanting ammo with lead in the priming compound 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Guy from HSM says that Centerline makes the small primer brass, woman at Centerline says that they don't make sp .45 Colt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me scratching me head too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
