Here's an issue.
I have large pistol primers. But these spent brass seem like they need small primer.
What should I do?
Jam it in there?
Can I use small rifle in the .45acp?
I've heard it's possible, but I have no first hand experience so will have to defer to those with more knowledge.
SRP are a bit harder. I found out the hard way. I once accidentally used them for 38spc and failed to ignite.Can I use small rifle in the .45acp?
couple things to keep in mind with .45acp. Your powder will fill the case less than halfway so it is possible to double charge the case and not feel it when seating the bullet... just be aware of that. .45 acp head spaces off of the case mouth so crimping should be done cautiously and check by dropping a finished bullet into the the barrel and listen for a solid plunk. and apparently small rifle works but they are harder therefor if your gun does not have a very solid firing pin strike they probably wont work well.
If you have time, help me understand this crimping thing in more detail. I use rcbs dies and rock chucked.
