Picked up a bit of .45 ACP range brass today, tumbled it, and went to load it...then realized those IDIOTS at Federal has produced .45ACP Ammo with SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS!! Unbelievable...I plan to write to Federal and will not buy another Federal product until they withdraw this ammo from the market. Its going to wreak havoc for those of us that reload .45ACP. Try sorting this stuff out of regular .45ACP brass...

If they are trying to save money...load up aluminum cases (ala Blazer). Sheesh

😆 Notice how Fletch is laughing! As I mentioned……give him an inch and he’ll twist it.
Somehow I ended up driving the bus and he and FJ are in the back drinking all the beer!

Don't let 'em drink too much. When the bus gets to the clubhouse, they have brass to sort. While we shoot.

Already got sentenced to hard labor! I suppose you'll want it sorted by caliber and primer size!?!? 🍻 😅

I'll be sorting using a hammer. Learned that technique from Nutria 45.

My problem is, most of the time I can’t tell them apart without holding them next to each other!🤪
Blazer is a given…..until it’s not..

That is what grandkids are for. Pay them $5 for every SPP brass they find in your pile..

You haven’t met some of my grandkids!! Second wife’s kids, kids from their second marriage. Smart enough to stand there and throw rocks at a hornets nest. Not a chance they are getting close to my stuff…..🤪

What happens when you're shooting from a bench?

I didn't want to bring up numerous chrony incidents since that was a given...

I figure you'd be much better from the bench since you're sitting down and probably using a scope. Also, you'd have to do a "sit down" comedy.

Gotta ask, was it a small primer that initiated the chrony destruction?

😆 No, nothing to do with it! Although it would be nice to blame them!
