Has anyone ever seen this?
« on: July 06, 2009, 08:12:21 PM »
I was at the range Friday, and as always picked up some range brass before I came home. After sorting and cleaning, I decided to load some .45ACP to replenish what I had shot that day. One of the Winchester cases that I tried to prime wouldn't take a large pistol primer. When I compared it to some of the other .45 brass, I discovered that it took a small pistol primer. I'd never seen that before. The head stamp reads; WIN NT 45 AUTO.

Have anyone else seen this and have you reloaded this case? How did it work out?

Sound like their "Super Clean NT" ammo but I can't help on the loading info.  They make it for non-toxic indoor use.

 Tim beat me to it I ran into the same thing a while back. The primer pocket is quite a bit smaller than standard. I suspect it is because the components in the primer are different, so you can only use non mercuric primers which they probably do not sell.

The only primers made that are lead free are small pistol primers. Anybody wanting to make a completely lead free round round must use small pistol primers, even in .45. It makes sorting brass that much more of a pain in the butt.
