You may be in a situation like I have encountered w/ a particular 357 revolver that I have. It will not chamber a particular bullet when loaded in a particular brand of brass!!! Why?? excess diameter, yet all components measure within spec. In fact substituting either component (brass / bullet) results in chamberable rounds ... Just luck I guess. Marty

Throw Amerc Brass Away......Period!

I second that on throwing away A-Merc brass. It has the be the worst quality control I've seen in ammunition. The brass has mostly off center flash holes, thick brass buildup on one side or the other, etc...
I've heard complaint after complaint of the ammunition itself, what little I have shot of it seems to hold up to the complaints. It's crap ammo and if you need plinking cost ammunition buy something like Wolf or Silver Bear.

Amerc is the worst brass I've ever encountered. I throw them away on sight. I recommend you do the same. That stuff is awful!!!!!

Winchester Win-Clean brass in 45ACP is absolutely awful to size.
Takes AT LEAST 3 to 4 times the force to size than all other brass I have used.
I consider this stuff about as worthy of reloading as Blazer Aluminum or Wolf Steel cases.
Absolute RUBBISH !
