small primers in 45acp's?

[alanwk]

Is it ok to use small pistol primers in Blazer brass that has small prime pockets? Thanks

In short, yes it should be fine. What powder are you using?

I've read over on Enos that people are reloading them. You shouldn't have to adjust your load since the small primers are not as powerful. They sure are a PIA though. I just chunk them.

I am using Unique. Thanks

Those are probably the "NT" brass. Use the small primers and you'll be fine.
.45 GAP also uses small primers.

I have a bunch of the CCI/Blazer Brass cases with small primer pockets. They go in my junk brass bin. I also load with Unique, but I'm not gonna change over my priming system and start experimenting just to load up a handful of cases.

I have reloaded a few using fast burning powders such as American Select and WST to see if it was feasible. In actual practise 45 ACP cases with small pistol primers are consigned to the scrap container.
