I loaded up a batch of 45ACP rounds for my buddies 625PC. Mixed cases, 8.0 Grains of AA#5 and MBC 230 LRN bullets. The recipe is mid-level from the manual. Primers were Tula LP. Seating depth 1.23 inches. Check out the primers. What I call way hot. I think they would have disassembled a 1911 in short order, but since they were being fired in a 625 we shot them anyway to determine the cause. I saved 10 out of the 50 which were dissassembed last night. The powder drops were a consistent 8 grains even across the ten. In the end, some primers were fine, some where showed slight overpressure, some were straight flatened and smooth and several you could barrely tell where the primers ended and the brass head started. So I think half of the problem is the 45 load data is derived from 1911 style chambers which are looser and something as precision as a 45 revolver would more consistent and "tighter". The other half Im confused on. Could it be 45 case capacities as mixed brass was used?
