45 ACP

Gentlemen:

     Living in the city I have a membership to one of the local shooting ranges and I do pick up brass for reloading.
     Here's the point; I was reloading 45's yesterday and I have some Blazer brass, yes brass, not the aluminum junk, and I couldn't get any primers to fit! After looking at them I think they are using small pistol primers.
     Anybody have any information on the blazer brass?

City kids, sheesh.

.45 acp Speer, CCI, Blazer, and some Rem are Small pistol.

7.62x39 Rem use small rifle the rest large.

Some Rem-umc .357 mag take large most are small.

.454 Uses small rifle mag but some of the early brass was large pistol.

.500 S&W also started out with large pistol and changed to Large rifle.

And I'm sure you know the .40 uses small and the 10mm large?

Thanks Bird dog:
There are probably many things he hasn't shared with me about reloading, That's why I come here!

Fella's;

Just remember, they had to wait until Jeff Cooper shuffled off this mortal coil before de-standardizing the .45ACP primers.  He woulda roasted the entire batch of dumb brassards in print.  And then might have invited 'em all to the range & you would not believe all the accidents!  Of course his defense would have been that they were obviously major mental defectives & the accidents were inevitable.
