What's with small primer 45"s?

The small primer 45 brass has caused a lot of reloading folks headaches, but it has been around for a number of years now, and not likely to go away. I used to just discard them, but then I decided to just separate them, and if times get "tough", I will reload them just like I have done with the LPP brass for years. I have a fair amount of it, but have yet to need to load any of it.

I never run dirty brass through my sizer die, as it can/will scratch the insides of the sizer and then will transfer scratches to my brass......been there done that!! Learned it the hard way, and had to repolish my 38-40 sizer. Never again. not a fun project!!
