New to reloading, scored a few bricks of large pistol primers.
They are slightly less rare than very rare SPP's currently.
What do you load with LPP's?

Never really had any issues with any of them ! If I bought Local most were Winchester, if online whatever was available & cheap !! Many Moons ago Wolf Primers were $14 bucks per 1K,,I burned a lot of those bad boys up ! In this day and age don't be fussy, get what ya can,LOL !! I will say many competitors like Federal cuz there cup is a tad softer/thinner than most I believe. Be glad ya found some & didn't have to refinance your House ! I always used Standard LPP for 45ACP & Mag primers for 44 mag.

I have .45 acp ammo but its S&B and I read reports of them having very tight or shallow primer pockets making the less desirable to reload.
Family member has 10mm but its alluminum case.
I have .44 Russian and .44 Special ammo / cases.
.50 AE...now there is cartridge to save money reloading. (Even more than .44's and .45 Colt)
The S&B 45's often have very little lead-in to the primer pocket. This can challenge how well aligned your primer seating equipment may be; probably the reason for complaints. I don't think the pockets are shallow and I've reloaded thousands of S&B 45 acp brass. It does help to put a very slight chamfer or radius on the lip of the primer pocket. I have a decrimping swager that does the job nicely.
CCI brass has similar construction and gets the same treatment.
'Til now, only 10mm Mag.
I'm about to start loading .45LC, too.
