Speer has colluded with El Diablo

I found this while sorting through a small batch of range pickup today......

Bastards! Used to be you could just about pick them out by different manufacturer's headstamps. No more.

Thank your fellow reloaders as so many have complained about having to buy different size primers ...
Now all you have to do is buy ... Well, we still have to buy different sized primers!!!

I much prefer small primer 45acp

Insomuch that I use a universal de-priming die ... missed small primer pockets make a definite "crunch" when re-priming them with the large pistol primers!

I guess case prep is not part of your reloading activities.

Primer pocket scraping is a thing of the past.

Prep? What the hell is prep? I just pop the old primers out and seat a new one then dump powder from a scoop, seat the boolit and put it in the ammo can.

Not for me, I clean the primer pockets on everything I load. Case prep IS important. I use this one, but there are lots of different ones out there. I've had this one 20+ years.

I've loaded near 20,000 pistol rounds and have never once cleaned a primer pocket. Had I-- I would have only loaded 5,000 rounds.

If you're into supreme pistol accuracy, maybe there's value. But my reloads shoot as well as factory in my handguns, so I see no purpose.

Small primer .45 brass is an abomination, and Speer or someone's going to get sued when a reloader blows up a case. I haven't, but it really slows down my process when I have some of that garbage mixed in.

I do save it and load it up periodically-- and use it at lost-brass matches. Let somebody else curse it. I call it "Obama" on the label of the box... that sums it up.

I'd like to hear how this could happen.
