This is the first time I loaded for 45 acp. loaded some round nose flat top, cast bullets, and some fed and worked ok, some failed to feed, and some failed to lock into battery. I would reload into same or another mag and they worked, sometimes. All but four fired with no pierced primers, no bulged cases, so would leave me to believe no pressure signs. But is it possible a factory crimp die would have solved these problems? Had four cartridges failed to feed, case rims messed up, all other fired, two full boxes. I load for 38 special and 45 colt both revolvers, and no problem. This problem persisted in two different 1911s. When I fired factory ammo, no problem either gun. Was just my reloads. Is the first time I loaded for an autoloader.
