This cheep stuff has a plate over the primer with 2 holes that are offset instead of the primer being right up against the powder. Even after I had my stuff replaced, I still broke 2 decapping pins before I realized what was going on. (luckily the factory sent me 8 new ones).

That stuff is berdan primed. You can't reload berdan primed brass. 'Normal' bullets are boxer primed, and are reloadable.
You have to check when you buy brass, a lot of old military surplus brass/ammo is berdan primed. It's ok to shoot, it just can't be reloaded. There is a lot of cheap ammo out there that is reloadable.
Oh, and Starline brass is not cheap japanese brass, It is top of the line. I just thought I should mention that in case there is any confusion.
