my best fishing/hunting bud has started to reload 44 magnum shells. he bought 500 SWC 240 gr. lead bullets from friendswoodsbullet.com, and hasn't started reloading those yet.
but, when he ordered cases from affordablebrassandbullets.com, the guy offered him some sample lead SWC 240 gr. bullets in order to win over his business. so he reloaded 7 shells of the 10 bullets provided, and gave up, because of the 7, five of them buckled the cases, rendering them useless. he sized his cases with Lee dies, then ran them through the case expander die to allow for the seating of the bullets.
he's reloaded shells with jacketed bullets, and no problems. perhaps he should call the dude and tell him what happened, and maybe get some more samples.
any ideas offhand? thanks
