New to loading 45 ACP SWC's...does this look right?
It's been a long time since I've reloaded anything and I never have reloaded SWC rounds in a semi auto.
My friend gave me a Dillon 550B and I am trying to get it setup. I made this dummy round (no primer or powder) using a Bear Creek 185gr HBSWC 45 ACP round.
This is what I have so far:

Cartridge Overall Length is 1.220

Crimp is right around 0.472 to 0.473 depending on how I rotate the round.
They drop freely in and out of a Lyman case gauge.
It'll feed in from a Wilson 47D in three different guns I tried them in if I slam the slide closed. It'll feed slowly into two different custom Colts without any issue, but jams in a stock Colt if fed slowly.
Does it look right? Anything I need to adjust before adding powder and going to the range?
