    Not at all, they go in a differnt pile when I find them and they will already be deprimed.

    Moderately, they stop the process when I'm on a roll.

    My first step in reload is deprime (with decap die) on single stage, at this time I sort small or large primer pocket shell then I put them in separate pile. So I DON'T hate small primer pocket shells at all.
    The one gives me trouble is the mix up of .380ACP and 9mm shells.

      I can definitely see 380 better than small primer. I don't deprime until the progressive so it stops me, I have to get it out of sequence from the shell plate. At least it's not locked in, but it pauses my flow...

        I don't hate them at all. It's simply a matter of checking one's brass, which we all as reloaders should be doing anyway. The SPP versions of .45 ACP cases shoot just fine, and yes, I do keep them separate from the SAAMI-standard LPP versions.

        If one is not paying proper attention during the reloading process, sure, an SPP case can kinda botch things up. This is why I learned years ago to pay particular attention to the feel of the primer getting seated into the case. If I feel any more resistance than what I've found to be "normal" on my presses, I stop and look at the case. Nine times out of 10, it's an SPP case. I simply set it in the SPP batch and keep right on going. Really doesn't slow me down very much.

          The hate is so strong that I reload them over and over until they fail or get lost!

            I sort them separately, it does take extra space. I'd rather save the small primers for 9 if possible.

                    I’ve done a decent job culling them out after tumbling so they don’t bother me too much. For now, they get put aside and may or may not be reloaded down the road.

                    I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune when I encounter the next one though. It will happen.

                        You need to add a opinion.

                        I absolutely hate it. It serves no use and I'm not sorting brass. Every last SPP 45 ACP that I find gets scraped. no if's and's or but's about it.

                            I don't hate them, but every one I get my hands on gets tossed in the scrap bucket. They are useless.

                              I like having the option of reloading either small or large primer 45 ACP brass. It conserves my stash of WLP primers for 45 Long Colt, you heard me I said it 45 Long Colt.
