johoevasmatrix Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I just got a 45 and started stock piling 45sp brass I did this thinking I wouldn't have to change the primer setup on the 550. I am going to be using cci 6.8 powder pistol pushing 230 fp. This weekend my father came into town and wanted 44 mags made. So much for not changing primer system.

PJones1911 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 There is a large advantage to the small primer 45 when using 625 revolvers. If any of you are S&W 625 revolver shooters and use them in competition, there is a large advantage to the small primer 45 brass. I have collected a lot of small primer brass over the past two years and just kept it with the intention of using it at some point. I shoot both at 686 and a 625 in competition. After doing a complete trigger job on both guns, with Jerry Mikulek's help, I was able to have a smooth 6 pound trigger pull on both revolvers. The 686 ignited the primers consistently and reliably every time but the 625 required an 8 pound pull to be consistent and reliable. It dawned on me that the small primer might just be the difference so I loaded up a bunch of 45 with the small primer and set the trigger pull to 6 pounds. It works great so I am now looking to collect more small primer 45 brass for revolver shooting. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
