I’ve never loaded any for revolvers but I think I’ve read that the boolit needs to be sized to the cylinder throat, not the groove diameter?
I’m working on a very old DA colt in 38 long colt groove diameter was .385 if I remember right and the cylinders came out around .382. My cast are coming out at .383 or so but .382 is hard to chamber with my slightly mangled dummy.
I’m trying to decide what sizing die to use if any. My plan was to get one at average cast size as to lube the boolit but not swage it down any as groove diameter was so large. As tight as it was to chamber I’m questioning that logic now.
These are heeled boolits and I am using the old west bullet mould system of tools for loading as I can get them.
