What am I going to do?
I thought revolvers were designed originally for shooting lead bullets of all configurations.
Well, I reloaded some target grade hard cast lead Truncated cone 200 grain Aardvark bullets behind 5.3 grains of TiteGroup for a round doing 1,025 fps for 25 and 50 yard practice.
I also loaded the same charge behind some 200 grain copper plated flatpoints by Rainier.
I measured the Rainiers and they were .400 and the hard cast lead bullets were .401.
I belled the cases just enough to easily get the bottoms of the bullets into the case throats.
I used a Lee Factory Crimp Die on all of the them with a half turn or a light crimp per Lee instructions.
Used Federal large pistol primers.
The Rainiers, or copper plateds shot and loaded fine so my moon clips are fine too.
Well, my Glock 20 shot some 2-3 inch groups with the hard cast lead bullets. But my SW 610 would not seat the bullets flush into the charge holes of my cylinder. I had to use some force to push them in deep enough to be able to push the cylinder into its shooting position.
I could only get half of the LTC bullets to get flush enough into the charge holes to shoot them and the groups were very tight - 2" at 25 yards.
But what is causing this seating problem so that I can't easily drop them into the charge holes by themselves?
Help!!!!
