I don't like to fiddle with loose ammo or cases at the range, so I very rarely use Auto Rim in my .45 revolvers.
I have an old 2nd Model Hand Ejector that was originally supplied to Great Britain during WWI, chambered in their .455 service cartridge, which served as the basis for the U.S. M1917. Mine has had a M1917 cylinder installed, so I can use plentiful .45 Auto brass for handloads.
I also have a Model 22-4, which is a modern reproduction of 1950s service revolver, with a 4" barrel and the heavy underlug that had been deleted from the original Hand Ejector after the Brits decided it collected too much junk in the trenches.
