I know it sounds off topic but it isn't. I am just starting reloading. I am using a Lee Pro1000. It is working fine. I first tried Rainier 124gn Fp bullets at 1.095 oal. They did not feed. I upped the OAL to 1.12. Now they make it out of the magazine and into the breech. The problem is the round does not seat fully in the chamber. This keeps the slide from locking up.
I started comparing my rounds to factory ball rounds and the dimensions were fine. Then I started really comparing the barrels. My bullets are contacting the rifling before the case mouth bottoms out in the chamber. The Bar-Sto rifling comes right up to the chamber. In the stock Glock barrel it looks like the rifling begins a little further forward and gradual.
Does this make sense? Do you think the Bar-sto barrel is defective? Am I condemned to use round nose bullets or the stock barrel?
It never seems to go easy. :banghead:
