.45 ACP and small pistol primers

I have a batch of .45 cases that have small primers instead of large primers. 3 different kinds, Federal NT 45 auto, Win NT 45 auto and Speer 45 auto. I figure the NT is Non-Toxic? All the load data i have or can find just uses large pistol primers. Anybody have luck reloading these?

Small primer .45 ACP brass goes into the scrap brass bucket. Since it takes to long to
change out the primer feed system on my Dillon 650.

id seperate them into a different loading batch would be a hassle to load both types together. also Ive been told that anything that has NT on it is supposedly non reloadable.

I haven't had any problems reloading the NT .45ACP's. The main issue is segregating the brass before priming, obviously. (Careful with the 45GAP, too...small primer).
I've found the following regarding the 45 ACP case (large primer) 1)Some Winchester brass have over-sized flash holes. 2)Most AMERC brass primes with little resistance, although the primers haven't backed out or any such thing. I've noticed many of these have off-center flash holes.
I also reload Wolf Steel w/o any grief. Use common sense and be mindful of any signs of metalworking failures...few have been detected after multiple reloadings in my experience.
For free.... if you reload 7.62x39, you'll find some Remingtons use small primers...be carefull!
