I reload any brass I can find for the .45 as it is a low pressure round. It is hard to wear out .45 brass. I have noticed a certain brand of 9mm that is .001" thicker than the rest. Seems like it was the IVI brand. If you were loading 9mm to the max. with normal brass the IVI case, with its reduced volume, might cause problems. When I shot .357s Federal worked well. In general most brass is OK.
