Question small primer pockets 45acp

I recently fired reloaded blazer brass with small primer pocket in my 45acp. The small primers were unable to ignite all the powder in the cae causing either jams or no slide movement whatsoever. I used the same load in large primer cases and had no problem. Is their an answer to this problem besides burying small primer pocketed brass In my backyard?

I use mags in everything i reload and I have not had a problem using the small pocket brass in my .45s.

What load are you using???

I reloaded them for a while and they really got to be a pain in the butt so I just started tossing them old brass bucket.

Small primer 45acp cases are "Devil Spawn" and should be classified in the same category as (Take your pick!!):
Hazards to Navigation
Environmental Disasters
Drug Dealers
Liberal Politicians
Lawyers
Child Molesters
Bed Wetters
Socialists
Marxists

In other words, they are a pain and should be discarded!
