Re: Reloading 45 ACP
A friend's Father gave me a half a box of 45acp with 1943 head stamps on them. The primers were all kinds of a funky greenish blue color. Friend's Father told me that's because they were using mercuric potassium in the primers and it's pretty corrosive. I shot some of the ammo and cleaned the gun immediately when I got home and found it had a peculiar smell to it. I think I still have a few in one of my MTM reload boxes. He also gave me some M1 carbine tracer rounds too. The primers on them were sealed and a bit discolored but not like the 45's. Those cartridges were from the 50's I gave them to someone else because I didn't want to shoot them out of my Korean reimport Inland M1 carbine.

Re: Reloading 45 ACP
A big advantage with a .45 is you don't need to use coated or jacketed bullets. It is easy to find a load that can shoot hard cast lead bullets to full power with minimal leading. Lubed bullets can be a little smoky and after 200 rounds you might need to use a bore brush on the barrel when cleaning but they are very economical. Especially if you get into casting your own.

Re: Reloading 45 ACP
I bought primers at normal prices at two shops a week and a half ago. They’re out there.

Re: Reloading 45 ACP
Dunklebergers has CCI450's for 7.95 for 100 with a 200 limit. Others as well but the price is a tad steep for now. I don't see me going to the range for another month at least. I'd prefer to buy a full box of a thousand.

Re: Reloading 45 ACP
Whats normal prices ? I have not bought primers in 10 years and for my pistols won't need them for a quite a while. Starting reloading 223/556 threw a wrench in it for me.

Re: Reloading 45 ACP
I paid around $32/1000 for Federal and CCI primers at my LGS for 3 years before the panic. I got some S&B SP primers at Cabelas for $18/1000 back around 2017.
