Joe, if you got filler debris out of a batch of ammo and never got it before, likely that ammo maker was using what they could get during the shortage, and its characteristics called for a full case due to position sensitivity

Definitely had filler, but it wasn't during the shortage. I suspect it was a $$$$ profit matter. Still, the ammo functioned fine. Brownie, me and a few other students fired over 3000 rounds of it in one weekend. Zero malfs. I still have over 2K of .45 from that batch. Maybe I'll bust a few open and see what's in there.

Another reason to miss Dave....
