How do you sell your brass?

I never knew that was small primer 45 ACP brass until I tried to stuff a large pistol primer into one. I guess just some brass that I had picked up at the range here and there and after I’ve lost some of mine because the desert hides spent brass pretty good I had some spare cases that I had already tumbled and sized and decapped. Years ago I stopped using the Rcbs press for priming cases and now I only use hand primers Lee, Hornady and the RCBS. One thing to know about the hand primers is you feel what’s going on quickly before anything bad happens.. I tried to prime a case and it wouldn’t go and I thought what in the world ? I pulled the case out of the tool and noticed the primer pocket was small… I’m like well that’s new to me. Let me look around for some others and sure enough. I had a total of three of those don’t know where I got them, but I don’t have them anymore.
. What is interesting though and all of my reloading data.. Hornady , Lyman , Lee Speer and Hodgdon I have never seen any data that I can recall that mentions a small pistol primer being used in a 45 ACP.
