Closely check the size of the bullets you are using?
Full Metal Jackets seem to insert better for me than the copper plated versions.

benzuncle said:The biggest pain is finding the 380's after you've fired them. The casings have a bad habit of disappearing. I have 4 mags loaded and ready to go and when the time is just right (no one in the vicinity shooting 9mm) I open up with the 380 and then scrounge and grovel for as many as I can find.
Well, I put a little more bell as suggested, and that put the bullet in the case pretty firmly like I do with my 9mm's.
Seated the bullet, and just as before, the round won't enter my max cartridge gauge.
Got the Lee Factory Crimp die as suggested, and bingo, problem solved. Extra step, but that's a small price to pay.
I hit the range today, and all went well. Thanks everyone!
