Odd piece of .45 Auto brass
So I set my newly-minted 13-year-old to decapping .45 ACP brass with a Lee Loader yesterday. He was working along having a grand time (always good when he gets to whack things) when he says "Hey Dad... this one's got a smaller primer than the others."
So later on I go look and, sure enough, there is a handful of Blazer brass cases, .45 ACP, that appear to take small pistol primers. They have the single flash hole of boxer-primed brass, but the primer pocket is smaller than all the other ones I have.
Has anyone else seen these, and do you know why Blazer would have made them that way?
