i have reloaded a couple thousand xtreme plated 124 grn fp with no issues from my XDM osp. I recently switched to blue bullets specifically 125 grn rn. Since the switch I have had a couple failures to go into battery and the round getting stuck in the chamber. So I bought a shock bottle case gauge to see if that was the problem and I am experiencing about a 10% failure rate of passing the gauge.
Since weeding out the failed rounds I have not had any failures when shooting. I am sure the issue is because I backed off the crimp due to not wanting to break the coating. I have lee does in a xl650 and the fcd is screwed all the way possible into the toolhead. My question is how do you guys adjust the crimp to pass the case gauge but not break the coating?
I am using mixed brass and there is no commonality between the failed rounds. I have ran failed rounds through the fcd a second time with no help. Any ideas?
