Please don't crucify as I just started reloading. Order of events:

1) Got excited when my new RL550B arrived.
2) Setup press per Dillon manual.
3) Ran off three 45 ACP rounds.
4) Loaded those three rounds in mags of a couple of my 45s and they chambered fine.
5) I ran off 100 more rounds.
6) Calipered after running the 100 rounds with following avg. results: .469 case base, .456 case mouth, 1.229 OAL

My question is... with 4.5 to 4.7 grains of Bullseye and the cases being slightly overcrimped and short do I have to worry about them going boom? If so, is my only choice to pull (and waste) the bullets and start over?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
