How is the diagnostics coming along?
cases are not going in all the way, must be the crimping I just order a Lee taper die, will see when it gets here, thanks
My gut feeling is that you have a bunch of well used .45 brass. The Lee die will probably salvage it. I'd buy a box of factory ball, shoot some and try loading the once fired brass with your current settings. If that works, your brass is most likely the culprit. I load for a bunch of different guns and have some 50 plus year old brass (RA63) that's still going strong. The only thing my HK 45s won't run is the Hornady steel case traing ammo.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
