Default 45 ACP primer differences
A friend who doesn't reload gave me a big box of once fired brass a few weeks ago. So its a rainy day today and I'm not busy so I figured I'd load some 45s for an up coming range trip. What I noticed as I'm running this brass thru my Dillon case feeder is every now and then I couldn't seat a primer. Turns out that not all makers of 45 ACP brass make them with large primer pockets. Seems Federal and Blazer used small primers. Made for a pain having to every now and then remove the odd round.

Perhaps this is widely known, but it was a first for me.
