If any of you ever come across this brand
http://www.centuryarms.com/hotshot.htm
And you see how cheap it is, and the box says it's "reloadable", keep on walking. I bought a hundred or rounds so of these at my local shop, was way too cheap to pass up. I think I payed $7.00 for a box of 20. Shot about fifty, and they where so underpowered they suited up just about every case. So, I finally got around to pulling the rest of them, I figured I'll just use the bullets and brass. Well, they maybe reloadable, but the vent (I like to call it flash hole) separating the primer pocket and body, IS TOO SMALL. Pulls the decaper pin out of the die. Same thing with the case trimmer.
So, a warning to anyone who may be thinking of purchasing any of this brand, dont think you will be reloading any.
