Just trying to load some PMC .45 acp. The completed round fits easily in my Lyman case gage, OK in my Dillon gage but WILL NOT PLUNK in my Ruger Blackhawk .45acp cylinder. The empty PMC "plunked" just fine. I've crimped beyond reasonabelness, seated deeper until my seater bottomed out, bulge busted the completed rounds, sized two types of bullets to .451, trimmed the case to proper length (first time I have EVER trimmed a pistol case). I am at a loss to determine the cause. I am using a Dillon sizer, Lee powder measure, Lee bullet seater and Lee FCD. My final resort will be trying to "plunk" in my stainless Bisley .4 acp cylinder. Well, that did NOT work. Same failure to plunk on the Bisley Vaquero. I'm pretty much OUT of ideas.
