I have loaded 15,000 rounds of .45acp on my SDB now.
There are three brands of brass I settled on as my go-to brass.
They are Federal (LP+SP), Magtech(CBC), and Winchester.
CBC is my favorite because of the way it `feels` when sizing, priming, and bullet seating. After 21 reload cycles they resize well, the primer pockets are still tight, and the neck tension is still really good.
I also have a few thousand range pickups that I hate to waste.
It`s a mix of Aguila, Blazer, Hornady, RP, and several others.
I am pretty sure they are once-fired. I have cleaned and push-thru sized them.
Is there any negative to loading mixed bras other than the flare varying some with the different lengths?
What else should I watch for?
Thanks!
