Ended up selling to someone who wanted to simplify their calibers and load small primer in all of them.mr surveyor wrote:I cull all the small primer pocket .45 acp brass.... not enough of them around here yet to worry about keeping them
Personally, I was not a fan of Unique or AA #7. There are so many modern powders that meter reliably like metering water, I see no point in using a poor metering powder like Unique.mr surveyor wrote:I use standard large pistol primers and mostly Unique and AA#7. If they cycle well in my old 4# Kimber with a heavy mainspring, they'll work in most any .45 acp pistol
As far as AA #7, it is almost the opposite end of the spectrum. The powder is so fine is sifts down everywhere. Which is fine, I didn't really care about the mess. I didn't continue using it because I got smaller groups and less recoil from Universal Clays, W231, Ramshot True Blue, Bullseye, and Clays.
That is what I was planning on doing, but I rarely go to a shooting range..(gotta LARGE back yard
where I have targets and steel set up for the shooting I do )I'm in no big hurry to collect spp 45auto's...Just when I do it would be easier to load with one primer size in pistols until I get my 44mag revolver I hope..!
