hey guys im loading up dummy rounds to try to get my press setup properly. im loading 9mm 124gr XTP/JHP. no matter what COAL i use (1.100, 1.090, 1.075, 1.060) my COAL shrinks ~0.010 when chambering. Why is this? Im using Hornady dies on a LnL press with Lee FCD in the last station. Any ideas?:banghead:
ETA: crimp is set by turning die 1/4 turn until bullet stops moving when pressed by hand against the bench. even after that it still shrinks 10 thou when chambering. pistol being used is a G17. i loaded 5 bullets with COAL of 1.090 and everything fed and cycled fine but when testing with dummy rounds (no primer or powder) I get setback upon chambering.
