So I recently started using Hornady Critical Defense in .45 auto. The round seemed to be great. The other day however, I went to chamber a round and it did not feed. I removed the round and noticed the the round had pushed back into the casing. All the rounds have a pretty big step on the casing and after loading a couple different rounds a few times I realized the rounds were starting to push back into the casing. As they started to push back it exposed this large step and I started having jams when loading. I showed the round to a couple of my friends who also use rounds from Hornady (not Critical Defense) and they had the same problem with rounds from their primary magazines.
Just thought you all would like to about this and keep an eye out. It seems the crimp on these things are not very good and after loading the same round a couple of times it shows. I have switched back to my Winchester Rangers.
