Same experience here. Primer didn't go off just because the second I felt a weird resistance I stopped. Kinda like if you find a berdan primed 9mm and the press goes thud (unless your decapping rod shatters)

Thanks for the advice!
Now down to the brass
tacks. At what price would mixed primer .45 brass become attractive?
What would you be paying for sorted small and large primer brass?

Free
What ever the going rate was
Not trying to be a smartass, I have 3 5gal buckets of 45.
The mixed primer stuff would have to be cheap.
As for what I am willing to pay for sorted brass, id shop around for the going rate

To me it would be worth the scrap price for brass. Not trying to be smart. But if I have to clean and sort the stuff it isn't worth extra.
You use purple sir but I just googled scrap prices and the weight of .45 brass. Spent .45 brass is worth a bit over 1.5 cents each as scrap. So a big bucket of mixed, unclean, SPP/LPP .45 is worth about 2 cents apiece. That is probably a pretty fair price.
It's a lot more value as loaded rounds than scrap to me. I'll get some .45's tidied up and see if it isn't to others also?
I likely have a few thousand cases cleaned that won't need sorting as they were collected before the .45 ACP small primer debauckle.
I do have some scrap though that needs to find a new home. I'm sure my spent primer scrap must be around 20#.
Four out of 5K sold. Thanks INGO!
1K 45 ACP LP brass (and 550 loaded rounds for components) to go. Then to decide whether to sort the mixed 45's. Thinking I will.
I ended up bought 50lbs of LP from a guy up north when I went to Copper Custom to pick up my silencer.
I paid $160, already sized/de-primed, wet tumbled ready to load. I can't pass on that.
Still need to dial in my new(to me) Dillon 650, but the problem is I still don't have a 45.

Sounds like I need to study up on the values of my 1911's. I have two that were daily carry and steady competition guns until a couple seasons ago. They have now become safe queens and I don't want safe queens.
