I would just get some sand paper and a doll rod and open it up some more. I had to do this with my 356 die that was sizing to 354.

What other lubes are out there besides LLA? Pretty much all of the other lubes besides LLA that I've seen are the hard lubes for lubrasizers.
I have some bullseye powder, I guess I could give...

I shot some of the .357" boolits today and still got leading. I guess I'll go up to .3575 next and try that.

I actually took a loaded round apart and measured so I know this isn't the case.

What I meant to say is that I would t want to go bigger than 356 without knowing if it was safe to go that big.

So I've been casting for a few months now and after perfecting my 45 bullets I've since moved on to 9mm. I'm using a lee 128gr tumble lube 6 cavity truncated round nose mold. The boolits are dropping...

I love my hornady lnl when it's not breaking. I've broken 2 primer shuttles, 2 pawls and the indexing wheel. Hornady did replace everything that has broken but I have since ordered a spare part of...

Well I took some of your advice and shortened the round down to 1.220 and added crimp till the point where the brass started pinching the lead and then backed it off a little till there was no crimp....
Forum: Cast Boolits
I do own a micrometer, if I go much longer than 1.240 or under 1.210 the round won't even go halfway in the barrel before getting stuck. At 1.230 the round falls into the barrel fairly easy but sits...

I've been reloading handgun ammo for a year or two and have recently got into casting and have been having some issues with jams. I'm loading 230gr rn boolits cast with my lee 452 mold, sized to 452...

Have you seen this issue before with non round nose bullets? The 9mm mold I bought is a truncated round nose, will I have this same issue with those?

So I've been reloading handgun ammo for about a year now and recently got into casting bullets. I was able to get my hands on a few hundred pounds of lead (roof flashings, pipes & wheel weights). ...
