its just the S&B ones that are a little tight. Just gotta be careful.
Hopefully just a LITTLE tight for your .45 brass.
In .38/.357 & 9mm some are nearly un-primable.
Continued use and reloading should loosen them up a bit.

Just finished 100 rounds of 200 gr LRNFP, 6.6 gn of Universal. Ammo cabinets are both full...
...still have lots of cleaned up brass ready to go. Might do another 100 tomorrow. Like the guy who jumped off a 10 storey building, and every floor he passed they heard him say "so far so good"...

So, how many rounds loaded up so far, in those two full ammo cabinets?
Sounds like it would be a LOT!
Congrats on a great start!

The 200's are cheaper and they shoot really nice. I have lots of 250 gr ammo as well, and 2 or 3 hundred lead bullets left too to use up.
