Luckily I have a nearby LGS specializing in reloading .
I've already learned a web lesson, keep large and small primers far from each other and not even on same work bench, and just load with one or the other just in case a large primer mixes with small ones and you try to fit it in a small primer pocket.
Nothing will jam up a Dillon 650 like one small primer brass cartridge being mixed in with large primer brass . As careful as I am , it still happens occasionally . I buy used brass every now and then , and have to sort thru it , but once in a while one slips by .I have yielded to the forces who do not see Small primers in a 45acp or a 7.62 X 51mm cartridge as a good thing.
Using a Magnum Small primer does not = a Large primer it's simple physics. It's still about small vs. large &
in a perfect world you would have only SP cases & primers, & not have 2 worry about mixing problems.
All in all it's your choice. Good luck with it & keep us posted.
That's why we reload .Who needs to reload with prices like these LOL.

I will melt lead scrounge brass, & barter primers before I pay these banditos ripoff fees for factory ammo.That's why we reload .
Ammo companies are "for profit" corporations . They will always charge what the market will bear . The only thing that brings down prices is competition and supply being greater than demand . From what I heard today , Biden imposed sanctions on Russia , stopping their ammo from coming in to U.S. . Thus , eliminating some competition . With everything going on now , why on earth would Biden do this ? Oh yeah , I remember , he's a traitor for sale to the highest bidder .I will melt lead scrounge brass, & barter primers before I pay these banditos ripoff fees for factory ammo.
Some folks are buying this over priced ammo? Who?
It's a fact we can take a 7.63 x 51mm IMI Match case & deburr the flash hole, uniform cut the primer pocket, Fire form
& neck size only. Using a Sierra 168 gr BTHP, Federal 210M primer, AA 2520 powder, I can easily beat any Federal Gold Match
round for accuracy & reliability with my custom loaded Cartridges.
With a Dillon 650 you can load custom rounds for the 1911 that will outperform the factory loads & we loaders all know that to be true.
I hope we all learned from this again. Do not trust the Firearms & ammo Manufacturers to have your back when it comes to the 2nd amendment.
When you can get into reloading do so & then stock up just what you need & lots of it.
Once again American Firearms & ammo Manufacturers have bent us over the log, true fer patriots.
As for me I will be watching the S&B & other non American Ammo makers & see if they too are all about screwing us.
First ones to bring back cheap primers gets' my $ & support, the so called American Mfr. have shown where their true loyalty lies.

I still do not understand those as we did see all this shortage of components coming and did not act when they could do so we even advised them to buy all you can they sure could have but did not now moan and groan over lack of components and want us to sell them some, NOPE, we will possibly trade some but they have about zero trading stuff.
I was told tonight I was trying to take advantage of the person wanting sp primers he asked for1000 my terms were 3000 primers in return PLUS $300 in cash to keep until primers returned to me, after a year cash is mine I really did not wish to do this but he just kept on talking so I stated my terms and after a year you still owe me the primers, then I said I don't wish to do this and do not advise you to either. Finally mad he hung up thankfully. He will call back soon I know him well.I still do not understand those as we did see all this shortage of components coming and did not act when they could do so we even advised them to buy all you can they sure could have but did not now moan and groan over lack of components and want us to sell them some, NOPE, we will possibly trade some but they have about zero trading stuff. I did trade some powder and small rifle primers sometime back with other shooters but now keeping what we have, we tried to get several others in on our primer deal last year in Feb to get a 100000+ order for huge price break and free ship and hasmat but they never committed any $$$ so we forgot them fast, we are well stocked but our friends could have been also but just would not join in seriously, I just tonight got a call from one we asked to loan yes LOAN some primers, they did not like my terms really do not blame them and said that to them.
