Has anyone got a good load and OAL to use the Lee TL401-175-SWC in the Beretta M96. I have been having feed issues with this bullet. Seems to want to hang and nose in on the ramp. Thanks

No comment on the load but check your O A L, make sure all the flare is removed, --don't over crimp it, just get rid of the flare.
I load the same bullet in Julie's 96 and I have no issues with it.
I load it a little longer than the book says, to ease pressure.
Mouse to full house = no problems.

Edit to say:
if it's hanging on the feed ramp it could very well be the O A L of the case.
The bullet may be hitting the feed ramp in the wrong spot.
