Hello all, I am a new member and I decided to join after getting some good info about alloy as a lurker.
I would like to see if other people experience some of the same issues I do with my casting and loading, at the moment mostly with my .45acp.
1) The difference in hardness/quality of various brands of casings. Some will not accept expansion at all where others are like butter. Fiocchi, Fed. awful--Blazer, Win. acceptable--old military and Rem. excellent.
2)Because of the expansion issue the amount of "press fit" for the bullet varies, which leads to small amounts of lead rolling up at the case mouth.
Do people sort all their cases, use different expanders?
My container of cases is like 11 bean soup, there is every brand imaginable.
