Regarding the issue of small primer pockets in .45 ACP brass, this is a big beef of mine. First and foremost, I personally think doing this is stupid at best and dangerous at worst: you don't notice this when you are decapping these cases but you may be in for a big and violent surprise when you go to recap them with larger primers.

This (at least to me) questionable practice makes sorting and checking your fired cases even more important. Certainly we can all recap the affected cases with small primers, but why should it even be necessary in the first place? Like the others, I have always sorted and separated my cases anyway and keep those of the same brand together and always note the number of times each group has been fired.
