I have had the same problem with Hornady rounds crimped in the cannelure. In fact, it was that issue that started me on my path to reloading. Well, that and a complete inability to find anything chambered in .45 ACP, though that situation seems somewhat resolved.

Which leads me to my next (relevant) question. At the same time .45 ACP seemed to be unobtanium, powder was scarce on the ground as well. I did manage to find some Vhita Vouri, which seems unpopular in the US. In addition to the pistol powder, I was able to find some VV N160. Has anyone tried this as a load? Success stories?

Used Viht. N160 for many years, mostly for .243Win. Reloading using that propellant for a Stery Mannlicher Mod L stutzen & 95gn Nosler Balistic tip bullet. Brilliant.
I have an idea I used it in my .273 Steyr too, but jsut can't quite remember...it was some 25 years ago. I probably have the load data lurking somewhere.
Definitely have my specific data for the .243Win.

Why/what is so unobtainable with regard to .45ACP? Standard stock US items I thought???
