Smile .45acp Reloads

Hi:
I was firing some older reloads of mine (200gr SWC / 3.5gr Bullseye) in a M1911. A few of the rounds had fire sparks coming from the chamber end of the breech when fired.
Could this be caused by the case mouth not being crimped tight enough ?

*** The cases, bullets, and powder (like me) are old.

Thanks,
Jimmy
