Yep.....Federal 100 round box is LP and the 50 round box is SP....not sure why Federal does that but I am not complaining!

That's great. They send all of their SPP ammo to our great state. I've only seen the 100 packs with the small primers. Can't remember seeing anybody with the 50 packs. Maybe somebody is hoarding them and not shooting them....good.

I think the SPP version is the "clean" round some ranges demand. I load lots of pistol calibers. So, it doesn't bother me. Any of you guys see 38 Special LPP. I have about 10 left out of a bunch I found. Case collectors wanted some of it.

The SPP 45 supposedly loses about 4% velocity over the LPP, but gives smaller SD's. Just what I read. In this environment, I would not be throwing away anything but Berdan cases.

How much does scrap brass go for ?
