AP .45 brass, any good?

I have maybe 1000 of .45 brass marked "AP 45", some of it new unprimed and some fired. I got it together with the Dillon SD press i bought used.

When looking at the unprimed brass, the ignition holes seems somewhat off centre in some cases, is this something to correct or what?

I think I ran into some of this brass some time ago and if I remember correctly the primer hole/receptacle was smaller than the normal lagre pistol size, so check to see if they take the normal size primers. I could be wrong about the markings but it is something to check before you try reloading it.

As far as the flash hole being off slightly I wouldn't worry about it but I would do some test loads with the brass they're off on first.

Then again 45 brass is so cheap and lasts so long why even bother.

Works for me. I have rarely nocited .45 brass that "won't" work though I toss all brass marked "AMERC". I suppose my standards are low; I even reload steel cased Wolf .45 and surplus U.S. GI Steel cased .45 ACP w/o problems. I'd say use it til you loose it or it splits too much.
