Anyone have problems reloading s&b brass

I've heard of problems involving decapping rods not fitting through flash holes but before hearing this I had got my hands on 100 S&B 45 ACP brass and reloaded em no problem at all. I happen to be using a Lyman resizing / decapping die ,, if that matters.
 
I tried to load up some 9mm S&B brass. the primer pockets were definatly tight. I ended up trying to ream the pockets but eventualy tossed them.

CCI primers seem to be tighter than Winchester small pistol.
 
I've noticed their brass has little to no bevel to the edge of the primer hole, meaning you better have the primer line up properly, more of a pain to load compared to any other brass I've tried,Oh ...... Igman strikes a nerve as well.
 
9mm shells marked "S&B 9X19 NX" with a date have a very small flash hole and cause prolific cursing when they get mixed in with the rest of my brass. The depriming pin always sticks the flash hole.

Can be spotted by the red marking on the primer though there are other brands that are similarly marked.
 
S&b

I have never loaded any S&B products so I am a little unfamiliar with it. All the brass I have - about 6-8K total:D is not crimped, appears to have a nice radiused primer pocket and seems to facilitate reloading fairly easy.

I just got back from the range and the stuff I loaded last night ran in my AR fine.

Just have to crank the handle some more so I can get this stuff loaded.

I am in need of some 55grn FMJBT to load into these cases.
