Yup same here, on both counts. Other than finding the primer pockets more finicky for some reason, I haven't noticed any difference to the LPP cases.I make no changes to the load data, used to buy the small primer brass cheap because no one else wanted it.
Load it up and when you don't want to or can't pick up the brass then your not out your lpp brassStep one: Get rid of SPP 45acp brass.
Step two: Acquire no SPP 45acp brass.
Stuff works fine....I got tired of separating the two for reloads and dealing with the occassional SPP that would get missed and trip up the press. Since then, no SPP 45acp anywhere in my stock.... and no regrets.
Should be no problems. You are only igniting 4-8gr of powder. It should be just fine. I use large primer, but I'm storing small primer cases away until I get enough to load up. I may ask for 500-1000 cases of SPP 45acp brass next time SugarCreekBrass has some on hand.A couple questions about small primer 45 ACP cases.
1) For those who use these cases, do you make any adjustments to the load data due to difference in primer size?
2) Will once-fired cases of this type typically have crimped in primers or are they like traditional non-military primers?
Thanks
I ordered 1,000 of these (once-fired) from Northeast Shooting & Target and will have them by Friday. Was going to paste the link for the item but now they are sold out.Should be no problems.

So far I've not ran into primer crimped cases on large or small primed 45acp cases. 5.56x45 and 7.62x51mm almost always have crimped primers.
On a side note. I'm running into SPP 10mm cases now as well.
Typically, you don't find straight walled pistol brass with crimped primers. The working pressures are not high enough to be of concern.A couple questions about small primer 45 ACP cases.
