rustybayonet Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Going thru my pile of brass, I have discovered that there are many types of primer pockets. This is what I found so far. Standard commercial large primer Standard commercial small primer Military crimped large primer Crimped small primer Berdan primer (I just toss these). If you found others please add them to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hello: Just convert the Berdan primers to large pistol by just punching out the primer. put a nice hole in the center. I did this by mistake a couple of times but it still goes band. Good brass to leave at a big match. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK63 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 When picking up my brass at the range I tend to pick up others and get some small primer pocket brass sometimes. I always check them before I throw them into the feeder. All the small primer stuff, which is usually one or two here and there go in the trash. I haven't found anything other than large and small primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowfin Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Small primer I keep aside and run as their own batch when I have enough. They're a great thing when large primers are scarce! If you've got some you don't want, save them, someone like me will want them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I use SP .45 only. It makes stocking primers easy as you only need one (for SP .45, 9mm and .223). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Who makes 45ACP brass for small primers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DagoRed Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Rws. Federal, blazer. I can tell you that just from the ones I culled last week. Not sure about buying it new. I have a buddy that shoots all nickel and all small primer but I don't know where he got it. I don't mind the small primer ones too much when I'm running them through the press as at least a primer won't fit at all. I hate the pocket that are just bad enough it won't seat a primer well but it jams part way in and your fighting to get the case out. Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Speer also. Try to avoid the ones that have the NT marking as they are crimped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I run them in my revolver so their easy to keep separate and for specialty loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
