Hello all,
I've been reloading for a while now and just added a 45 to my collection so now I need to load for this.
I have a rcbs 3 die carbide set.
Here is my issue. I can size/deprime, flare, and seat but the finished round will not chamber. I have taken a sized/deprimed case and dropped it into the barrel (taken out of gun) and it sits properly, I can flare the case and drop it in the barrel without problems. When I seat the bullet along with taper crimp and drop it in the barrel it will not fully set in the chamber. upon inspection of the loaded cartridge I am seeing a .003" variance (outward ring) in the middle of the loaded cartridge which feels to be the were the base of the bullet it seated in the case. This bulged out ring is hanging the cartridge up from fully falling in the chamber.
Using 230grn LRN bullet (specs have been triple checked and accurate to 0.452")
Mixed Head stamp brass.
I've tried adjusting differant crimps and bullet seating depths without success.
Help me out if you can with possibilities of my problem here.
If you need more description let me know.
Thanks
