Re: 45 ACP and Loadmaster
Man, think I better order that swage kit. Although things have been going just fine on my LM I may just run all the acp brass through it just for "insurance". I do have a large box of fired 9mm that Larryw sent me I should get to one of these days and they will DEFINITELY need to be swaged.

Re: 45 ACP and Loadmaster
IIRC, a while back I had some European 45 ACP brass (S&B?) that had sharp corners on the mouth of the primer pocket. I only had one or two primers that tried to go in crooked, because of the non chamfered pocket, so I just used my trusty countersink to chamfer the pocket mouths. Since I inspect all my brass it was no big deal to just drop the "bad" cases in a different pile. Worked for me...

Good for you, finding and working through the "problem" and solving it. A good lesson for us all.
