i have started having trouble shooting my reloads in my pistol. initially, i thought it might just be a cleaning issue (dirty gun), so i cleaned everything really well. no change. so i started paying very close attention to what was going on. upon digging deeper, i found that the cast bullets measure .453" instead of .452". what is happening is the slide goes almost all the way shut, but not quite. i have to either push it all the way closed (which works most of the time) with 2 fingers, and if that doesnt work, i have to hit it with with the side of my hand pretty hard. it does shoot once the slide gets all the way closed, and ejects the spent case just fine. even with using the lee factory crimp die (which by the way seems to hang up on some of these) it still does it. so, i am thinking i am going to have to buy a bullet sizer to shoot these. does this sound right?
