Amerc has a very bad reputation for the quality of their reloads and brass. Being a range scrounge I’ve picked up Amerc brass. It’s awful to try and reload their brass. Primers won’t seat properly and cases distort in the dies. I just chuck that brass in the recycle can when I see it now.

I believe that some Taurus guns have unsupported chambers. That can be a recipe for blowouts and kabooms.

I would also look at the rest of the ammo and make sure that they are taper crimped. I have seen roll crimped factory 9mm. That is another recipe for disaster.
