What caliber and how much deeper?

In a 40 S&W even slight setback can cause catastrophic pressure increases, in a .45 acp the pressure rise is a lot less.

Its .45acp. The bullet is in about 1/16" further than the rest. I went through the rest of the box and found another one just like it, so that's 2 out of 20.
