If you run a Hornady LNL ap in 45 auto, do you use s #1 or #45 shell plate? It you started with a #1, did something make you switch?
 
Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press Shellplate #1 (22-250 Rem, 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield)

Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press Shellplate #45 (45 ACP, 45 Winchester Magnum)
 
I loaded .45 ACP with the #1 shellplate for years with minor, but annoying, ejection issues (binding) from time to time. Tried the #45 and the problem disappeared.
 
Back when I had a Hornady LNL-AP, I had to switch to a 45 plate because I was getting high primers. With the 45, I still had them, just not as often.
 
I just found out about the #45 shellplate... I've been using the #1 for... uh... 25 years in my ProJector.

I was getting high primers with .41 Mag (only) for some reason, I readjusted the primer ram and now everything seems fine.
