Bubber Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 A fellow shooter and I were discussing the 45 gap brass as he wanted to try some out. The reason he was looking at the 45 gap was to get a small pistol primer pocket so he did not have to get two sizes fo primers. I remembered a discussion on the forum about the NT (Non Toxic) brass. I did a search but sould not find a source for purchasing the brass. So where does one go to get the 45 NT brass? Depending on the cost and availability will determine if he wants to try the idea out. Thanx in Advance. Later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later rdd A lot of police departments that have indoor ranges are going to "NT" non toxic (or less toxic I guess) primed ammunition. From what I've seen, Federal NT and Winchester's WinClean in 45 ACP, use small pistol primers. Both have NT on the their headstamp. I've recently seen Speer 45 ACP with small primers too, but there is no "NT" markings on the case. Post in the classifieds. I'm sure there is somebody getting brass from police ranges.

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I sold all my NT Brass as scrap. I was not willing to process the primer pockets by swaging every piece of brass. Too time consuming. I have a flat rate box of GAP both new and once fired I will sell for $150 shipped if he wants it. There is at least 1500 pieces with about 800 to 900 as new Starline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Commander Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 http://v4.beta.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewI...?Item=139059460 I use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Is there an extra step to processing this brass? Or does it reload the same as regular ammo. As long as you keep them separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Bagakis Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have been using the Speer for some time. I traded some guy here years ago he was L.E. I will see if I can find his info. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1911Verruckt Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Dillon Precision's retail store has the .45 ACP NT brass for sale. $60 per 1000. Federal and Speer mix. I'm not sure how much it'd cost for shipping though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Christian Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have picked up some range brass... 9mm... not .45... that was marked NT. I found that it locked up my priming system because the standard Small Pistol primers were larger than the NT primers. I suspect that NT loads also use a different primer (Non Toxic) than standard loads, and it is a slightly different size. If I was going to make a lot buy on NT brass I would call the maker and find out if standard Samll Pistol primers would work. My experience is that they don't. I now toss every NT head stamp brass I pick up. Chris Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
