I used that load in .45 Colt/Long Colt with no issues.
Load was factory case with 255 gr. 'Keith' semiwadcutter.
The crimp was quite important as a loose crimp caused very light loads. The .45 ACP crimp is MUCH tighter as the bullet is seated tightly in the case for quite a distance.
I'd back...
Do your best on the application.
WHEN you are denied...
Write checks to Md. Democrat Party, Md. State Senators' and State Delegates' re-election comittees that control MSP purse strings and then write them glowing letters with the caveat that your application was denied. Phone calls will...
Walked out the door with one from The Armory in Annapolis. Chesapeake Guns said they were regulated.
The owner of The Armory said the MSP chewed his ass for submitting them so he quit.
Of course the owner of The Armory is in hot NFA trouble for dealing M-1919 machineguns with MAC-10 serial...
Regulated firearms are confiscated and you WILL be charged. The judge will sort it out. The States Attorney will almost always offer a 'Steted' charge if you give your gun up. Even if found Not Guilty your chances of getting your firearm back are quite slim.
YOU must PROVE you are innocent...

You a former Coastie? I'm a GM in Baltimore where I build the 76mm Gun for the HECs.
I and MANY others were already test subjects for open carry of long arms.
I was arrested in 1985 for carrying an AR-15 Rifle for 'Carrying a concealed weapon on or about my person'. Charges were dropped at trial but I never got my Colt SP-1 S/N SP1 517XX back.
Charges were dropped BEFORE...
'Wear, Carry, Transport' in Md. ALSO applies to all 'Regulated Firearms' such as light barrel ARs and ALL AKs.
Try convincing a cop your HBAR AR-15 isn't regulated.
Gentlefolks,
I was ARRESTED in 1985 for CONCEALING a weapon on or about my person.
An AR-15 rifle.
I never got it back even though the charge was dropped. The P.G. County Cops 'Lost it'.
The 'Hand' spring may be worn out. Send it back to S+W and they'll replace worn part(s) and deburr or replace cylinder.
It's binding for sure so clean that puppy first!
