Unless its not TOO difficult to seat primers in the S & B .45 brass ditch it all - notoriously tight primer pockets !

Oh, can't do that. I have about 30 boxes of factory S&B I have not shot yet...it's stout brass just have to watch close and double check.

Been reloading for days now....better get shooting soon!

You may have to ream those primer pockets on S&B brass. Pain, but, you'll have the brass. And, once you do that, never again.

It's funny, some seat real slick. Others...not. But they all go. Just have to check 'em. I check every round anyway.
