I would say you may need to seat the bullet deeper and reduce powder charge and that crimp looks to still be flared at the mouth. Take some calipers and measure just below the mouth and then measure...

In my opinion there are some cases where seating the check below the neck are fine, such as seating the check, then powdercoating over the check and then sizing. But thats only if the check is held...

Might be worth it to full length size then take that piece and drop it in all the chambers to be certain that was your issue, but i always plan for the worst and hope for the best.

I use a noe htc mold thats drops .357 if i recall and i size .357. I have lee dies that give me a generous mouth bell and i havent had an issue with leading using coww alloy powdercoated.

What your having is a oal issue which is common primarily because cast bullets dont alaays follow the profiles of jacketed bullets. I run into it in nearly every cast load i run. My advice would be...

I have been struggling to find out why km having feeding issues in my 10mm 1911, itll feed factory ammo aside from armscor junk without missing a beat, cast lead is a little more quirky. So im...

Groovy Mike I ran my 135gn noe at 10.5 grains of unique and saw pressure signs and my 155gn lee at 10gn unique and saw pressure signs. Neither would cycle the action ever.

My gbl shoots extremely well, shooting the 175gn wadcutter at 100 yards I had two shots touching. Needless to say the other 4 where no where to be found, so I think it's me. At 25 and 50 yards nearly...

I would've never seen that coming. With all the great products they make, how could it be so.

Leading front to back or start to end of barrel is a lube issue. In 45 I wouldn't be concernedwith alloy unless it was linotype and tjdn my concern would be that I'm wasting it. I'd try different...

Let's make this easy. Take the bullet out of the equation. With your current setup run the handle with no bullet on or in the press. See if it jams up
I'm thinking that top punch that isn't...

what are you using to measure these boolits? I wouldn't put much faith in a tool for measuring unless it says fowler, starrett or mitutoyo, fowler being in my opinion the best bang for the buck. make...

So if your molds are designed to throw a .309 size boolit that. 311 die won't do you any good. It hasn't been mentioned yet but I thought I'd say it. I would without a doubt make up a soft lead slug,...

Finally got my rifle. Slugged at 4575, which I'm excited about. I have a mihec 462 gc hammer mold I want to primarily use and run h322. Hopefully I can get my hands on more 4198 but at the moment I...
I'm looking at lyman 311359 mold and nearly everywhere I look it's listed as .309-.312, I don't understand how or why they would list a mold in that range of sizes. I'm pretty green at this but I...
I would listen to Waco. If it's near the bolt that's probably the fastest to cool. Lyman 4 cavity molds I usually get so hot they throw very frosted bullets then slow down my pace until the frosting...

That's bad, when quality control is like that I'd think twice about buying from them.

Cast about 15lbs of alloy through a lee 312-155 mold. First lee two cavity mold I got that casts beautifully with no messing around and drops bullets at .313 which is good for me. I suppose lee has...
