I just started loading some 200g lead SWC moly coated bullets for my two Colts. I did not pay a lot of attention to the diameter of the bullets until I started having chambering problems. I had some feed problems but since these are target rounds I didn't worry about it a great deal, until that is, one got jammed almost in the chamber and it was a real pain to extract. I tried again today with the other Colt and had the same result. Accuracy (in my old hands) was acceptable, but feed and function was ghastly. I just finished checking a sampling of the bullets themselves and they mic out at .453.
The finished rounds drop cleanly into a case gauge, but won't reliably function in my Colts. Any suggestions? If need be I will sell them below cost, but I would prefer to use them if possible.
Thanks to all,
