Sixgun Seamus Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 Ok, I heard about these on the wire but today is my first encounter. By the way, Large pistol primers will not seat in these. To the hair brained idiot that thought this was a good idea, i have just one thought and blessing. "MAY THE FLEAS OF A THOUSAND CAMELS INFEST YOUR ARMPITS!"
SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 S S.....doesn't that stand for Sixgun Seamus?
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 Bet the SPP case used a lead-free primer Seen the same with .45acp brass.
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 Pain to keep them separate, but I bet they work just fine. My guess. Still wouldn't want to have to keep them apart. Duh
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 Hey Seamus -- Did you try hammering them in?? If it is only a small number of cases, I would pitch 'em in the recycle bin, and just keep the LPP cases. See you at Tusco next weekend --Dawg

River Jordan, SASS 18742 Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 hang on to them as it will give you more options if supplies run short....
Cholla Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 I think OLG is correct. And SPP is in every store in town. LPP are not to be found except on rare occasions. LRP? As rare as four-leaf clovers in the Sonoran Desert.

German Jim Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 If ya' don't want 'em, send 'em to me. I'll save 'em and use 'em if I ever run out of the LPP .45 Colt brass.
Griff Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Change is the one thing that one should be prepared to encounter... Y'all do know that .38 Special was a large primer case once upon a time?
Carolina Gunslinger Posted April 6, 2024 Posted April 6, 2024 I'm unfamiliar with the SS case head. Who makes these?

From another forum: Quote I recently got a couple boxes of HSM 45 Colt 250 gr RNFP. I've bought this in the past to plink with and because they use Starline brass. Well, these 2 boxes are marked on the label "small primer" and the headstamp on the brass is S S.

(still is in some cases) That's all well and good as long as your machine is prepared and more importantly that you know to look for it. 4 hours ago, Griff said: From another forum: Roger that sir. HSM. I was thinking that the SPP would be great for .45 CS brass. I'm tempted to cut my .454 Casull down and try it.
watab kid Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 im not understanding why they felt the need to deviate from the norm after all these years , decades , century of it being the one , but hey i just like the norn as we knew it - not against change but reluctant to rush in , i load both SPP and LPP but in diriment cases , i can adjust with a different shell plate on my SPP hand loader but im not inclined as long as i have an abundance of what ive been using all these years
Major Hazzard, SASS #23254 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Aggravation for reloaders aside, clearly 45 Colt and ACP cases with SPP do work fine. You sure can't tell them apart when you shoot them.
