Kind of sill but,

I had a lot of trouble with the .45 acp . I started loading .45 Colt and ACP at the same time and at first was having a near 25% failure rate! I was bulking too much, crimping too. Ugh and seating SWC bullets out too far. I started loading .40 S&W and 9mm later on and the Lee die kits came with a Dactory Crimp Die and had little to no problems. Bought one of the FCD's for .45 (and had gotten a lot of practice between starting out and this point) and now my .45 acp loads are as reliable as any other caliber I load for.
