Ok, was sorting through today's .45 acp brass and hit a couple of empties that are obviously destined for the recycle bin. What I'm wondering is whether these actually have a split neck or if they're caused by a feeding problem with me not having my LSWC's showing enough "shoulder". I loaded them to a COL of 1.235 but there's not much shoulder showing on these. (Previously for .45 acp I didn't pay much attention to COL and just loaded so that what I thought was an appropriate amount of shoulder showed)
I've never had a split neck before so I'm not completely sure what I should be looking for. I always thought it would be a sharp "V" instead of the "U" that I'm seeing. Here are a couple of hi-res pictures. Sorry they're not more in focus than they are:

2 of the 3 problem rounds have been in my collection since 1985 and have probably been reloaded 6-7 times. The other one is probably on it's 3rd reload.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Have a good one,
