So, I ordered and received my first time purchase of Missouri Bullet Company 230 grain 45 ACP bullets-LRN. I was slightly disappointed with the color. The color I received was not the color depicted (dark silver was pictured, and I received bronze color coated bullets). Oh well.
I normally order Brazos Precision coated lead bullets (Gold color coated bullets, not my favorite), but overall MBC bullets and the coating was overall really good. Unfortunately I did not realize that Brazos Bullets in 45 acp are about $15.00 cheaper than MBC bullets, so I think I'll stick with Brazos in the future. I set up my press and started reloading. I've never had the issue pictured below with Brazos Precision bullets, so I thought I'd post it here.
After seating the bullets a small shaving came off the bullets. It didn't occur in every bullet, but it was enough for me to notice. I figured maybe I wasn't expanding the case enough, so I expanded the case a bit more. There was less shavings, but it still occurred from time to time.
Is the issue that the case isn't expanding enough? Or is there another setting in the press that is not correct?
Overall the bullets reloaded well and are very similar to Brazos precision bullets, I just wish the color was as depicted when I was making the purchase.
TIA
