    And to bring up another lively debate I only have a little bit of 45 brass laying around and most of it is SP. Is the small primer brass any stronger or weaker than LP. Im running wolf SP and LP in these

    "Stronger" I don't have enough knowledge to voice an opinion I would be comfortable with.

    But I can tell you that based on chronograph results small primers are a little "slower" than large primers. I'll normally bump a load up .1-.2 if I developed it using large primers then switch to small primer brass, in order to get the same velocity.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
