45 ACP case flash hole revelations
I've been shooting and reloading for over 55 years and recently I have seen something that is disturbing. I was reloading 45 ACP and cleaning the primer pockets when I noticed a Winchester case with a huge flash hole. There was just enough material at the bottom of the pocket to stop the primer from falling into the case. Sorting the different cases, I noticed that there were Federal primers also with huge flash holes.
I checked all 1450 cases and came up with 33 Winchester and 14 Federal. These were once fired cases taken from our range. They looked absolutely new!
Anyway, I was thankful I inspect every case as this could of been a bigger problem if these cases were fired.
