Re: 45 ACP

Along those same lines:

I'm in the middle of doing my first batch of 45 ACP.
I did not know that 45 ACM can have large or small primers. For the record, roughly 150 out of roughly 400 are small primer.

In the future, I will certainly keep them separated!

The new Speer manual addresses this somewhat on page 966-967, the only thing it really says is that a small primer *may* produce slightly less pressure.

Hmm. So is it OK to use the identical powder charge in either (large primer or small primer) case, or charge one slightly more than an other?
