Sixgun Seamus Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) 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!"

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Bet the SPP case used a lead-free primer Seen the same with .45acp brass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jim Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share Posted April 8 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Hazzard, SASS #23254 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
