Just a heads up to those who might be thinking about loading some "Cowboy Special" 45 loads with the Starline brass now available. Thought I'd try it, so ordered some Starline brass. I liked the idea of a rimmed cartridge with a roll crimp. Loaded up a couple as test loads--none would chamber in my 45 ACP USFA or Ruger ACP cylinders. It appears the brass is just a bit too long--just enough to keep it from chambering. Others have apparently had good experiences without issue. Just doesn't seem like its worth going through the process of trimming every piece of brass as the regular ACP loads work fine.
These were 200 gr. RNFP .452s. To be sure it wasn't a bullet issue I test loaded a piece of 45ACP brass with the same bullet and roll crimp--no problem chambering.
Not trying to persuade anyone not to try the Cowboy Special--just relating my own experience.
