I started loading my powder coated lee mold 155gr (actually dropped at 165) only loaded five and tried to cycle the in the rifle. Nope got one or two to function but that was it. Checked the brass with my case checker it worked out fine. I then measured length and the neck diameter of the brass and again to spec or a touch under. After quite a bit of fiddling around trying to figure it out I decided to load a few dummy 135gr Hornady SP bullets. Loaded them to spec and they ran fine. The I put the two bullets together and of course the ogive on the cast it a bit longer. The Hornady tapers pretty fast while the cast is more or a pencil kinda thing. Of course its longer being 35grains heavier. Anyway I checked and rechecked everything I can figure and can't seem to figure it out. The cast won't go into battery but when I check the bullets I don't see any rifling marks on the bullet. Any ideas??
thanks
