I might be the exception, but I remember firing a few with the bigger flash hole and had punctured primers (a pin hole). Threw them out after that. This was in my Ruger .45 Convertible. Bigger flash holes and small primer pockets in .45ACP cases are prime candidates for the round file (or wax bullets) as far as I am concerned.
