The problem is the “bare” .45 ACP cartridges will work in some and not in others. Brian Pearce covered this in some detail. Tommy Campbell, retired S&W Professional Competitor and employee shared his view in the same issue of the Handloader. The specs WERE changed. One if my 625’s works fine without the clips, the other does not.
I made up my mind that to avoid ANY problem I will not be trying to use ACP’s without the clips.
P.S. the issue of the Handloader that discusses this is HL #257. The full length article on the .45 Auto Rim along with “clip details” will be found in HL #254.
YMMV,
