.45 200 SWC Frustrations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am losing my mind. I have a Remington R1 Carry I am reloading for. I have a Dillon SDB that I've reloaded 9mm .38 and .44 rounds for for years with no problems. I recently bought .45 ACP dies from Dillon to reload for the R1.
I am reloading a 200 gr. SWC from Missouri Bullet Co. with 5.0 grains of HP-38 powder. I'll reload 6 rounds that pass the plunk test in the R1 barrel, and then the 7th round won't go in the last 1/8". I've got 1.23" OAL, .472-.473 diameter. I have tried sizing empty case and seeing if it fits in the barrel, and they always seem to. I'm am pulling out my few remaining hairs trying to figure out why 80% of the rounds fit, but the rest don't. When at the range, the ones that don't pass the plunk test won't chamber to shoot. Ideas??
p.s. a box of Blaser 230 gr. RN feeds through the gun fine.
