thanks all ,please delete

if you did priming only
check the colour of the primer(in the flash hole if you can with a flash light)
if you are lucky they are different colours

sort them out and gently press out the primers you do not want
 
I have wondered about this before. Not 100% sure, but I don't think that there will be a large enough pressure increase to cause a hazard.

Sombody want to comment on this for me?
 
How many did you do? Personally I'd snap them all off and push them out. I wish I could find it, but I used to have a link where a guy did some brand to brand comparisons of primers. He filmed them detonating in the dark. Amazing differences in power and size of the flame between brands and especially between pistol and rifle. Any change in primer should really have its own load worked up imo... though many will disagree. Cup thickness and size of flame will be different. If you do push them out I'd either snap them off or soak them perhaps. Glasses on and face outta the way. Safety glasses I mean.... had you had your READING glasses on.... :p

Why ruin the primers? Just carefully decap them and then save them for future use in the proper application.

And yes, safety glasses would be a good addition for this operation, followed by reading glasses when opening the next box of primers.:D

Well I've had a few go off while attempting just this. If your wife/dog/kids/ are jumpy...

Primers are cheap, eye's and ears not so much.

I'm not sure I'd put full trust in a 'reused' primer either.

And even if he decaps them for reuse.... he still isn't going to be sure of whats-what.

miscou,

Be careful with this one. I made the same mistake with 9mm. I was loading cast bullets and there was enough of a difference in the primer compound to cause the bullets to streak.

My chrony crapped out so I can't give you exact velocity change (I want to check this later) but it was enough to bring the velocity up too much.

There is a difference.

It's nothing I'd worry about. I use small pistol as well as small rifle when I load 9mm.

I doubt its that big a deal either. I'd identify a half dozen or so of each, load em on the light side, and see how they chronograph.

Been loading 38 Super using SRP's instead of SPP's (a common practice). Whereas I should get 1380 f/s or so using 8.4 g of Vv N350 with a SPP, I get that velocity using 8.2 g of N350 and a SRP. If my math is correct thats about a 2 1/2 % increase. Don't take my data and assume it'll be the same in your 45's. I would expect, however, that what you've got may well work ok. "Glasses would be good to, :D". Let us know how you do.
 
gun used

I use a 454 Casull to shoot them with so I don't think it will effect the gun and they are only for paper cutting fun:D

my main question if I load them and fire them in a 454 Casull(45LC)would there be any bad s**t happening:D

I can't imagine there would be. That would be like shooting a hot .44 Special load in a .44 Mag. Will the loads be hotter? Almost certainly. Will they be hot enough to damage a revolver built for much, much more powerful loads? Not likely.
