That's quite a coincidence. I was having the same problem this weekend. In my case the problem was caused by the sizing die not resizing the brass down enough, inside diameter of resized brass was .449-.450", barely enough to hold on to a .452" bullet but not secure enough for heavy 310gr loads I was shooting. The solution I have until I get a new 45 Colt size die is to use my 45 ACP size die, that gets the inside diameter down to .435-.440" and hold the bullets securely.

My guess if that you're having the same problem, why I have no idea. I didn't have problems last time I loaded up some heavy 45 Colt loads either, but whatever the cause that's the problem I'm having and the solution is a new size die.
