I am working my way through initial setup.
I have reloaded shot shell for years, but hand guns is a new ballgame for me.
New gun - S&W 529 5 inch
Cast bullets - Lee 200 GR round nose
Titegroup 4.5 grains
Alox lube
Winchester brass
I got a tad sideways and expanded the throats of 4 pieces of brass a little too much before I realized I could back off the sizing die. Because the case was sloppy, the bullet slid in too far. The entire round's length is 1.415 instead of 1.615.
Rather than taking the round apart can I shoot them without creating a dangerous situation?
Any pearls of wisdom would be most appreciated.
