I know that if you reload 45 ACP and as I do scrounge for once fired brass then you discovered that federal uses in some of their brass, small pistol primers
Well In an effort to satisfy my curiosity about why Federal decided to use some small primers in some of their 45 ACP cartridges.I have heard many different explanations ( some were Pure BS) but none had anything to back them up so went to the Federal site and asked.
Here is my question to the Federal tech department and their answer.
ME
can you tell me what the rationale behind using both small pistol primers and / or large pistol primers in your 45 ACP cartridges.
FEDERAL
In effect to produce a more economical round we choose to use small pistol primer in some of our target loads. We were able to develop a load with the same performance as with a large pistol primer. Our Champion line of target loads use small pistol, if you like we still use large pistol primers in our American Eagle, Gold Medal, Tactical, Personal Defense, and other Premium lines.
Thanks
