I did a very informal chrono test on loads for the .45 using small versus large primers. All the info I child find suggested there would be minimal if any difference in velocity if the load was the same.
I load 5.1 grains of WST with a 200 gr SWC. Now, not going to lie here, the rounds were not loaded back to back so there might be variation in the drops. But assuming the drop didn't change there was a variation with slower velocity. The averages were 884 vs. 840 fps
Knowing that I need 825 fps this is interesting.
pic for interest. I shot a few rounds at 25 yards free hand for giggles.
