[QUOTE="Phadrian, post: 3051282, member: 25081"] Yeah the non toxic issue is what I've heard as well. Over the years the main companies making small primer 45 have been Federal and Blazer. This year I started seeing lots of Speer as well. If you call the ammo manufacturers, they will tell you "Oh the small primer give a better pressure wave, blah, blah, blah." If you ask them we've had Large primer 45 for 100 years, they say "Well back 100 years ago the primers and powder weren't as reliable as today, so you needed the large primer to insure proper ignition." To cut through the baloney it's a matter of cost. Small primers are cheaper than large primers. Years ago I switched to small primer 45. Now I can load all the small primer cartridges on my progressive and not change the primer system. Someone said there no difference in the primers in terms of performance, I looked up some articles and the one I found mentioned that with a small primer 45 got roughly 50 FPS less than a large primer 45 for identical powder charges.
