I am loading .40 S&W 145 grain Lee LSWC to an OAL of 1.100" in a Lonewolf barrel in my Glock 35. The case OD fits easily in the ID of the chamber. When I drop the round into the barrel during a plunk test the LSWC edge sticks on the ridge at the end of the chamber. My barrel slugs at .400" and the boolits drop at .402"-.403". I am NOT sizing them to .401" in a sizing die but loading them as dropped.
They shoot fine and the slide will close in battery. However, if I let the slide load a cartridge I am unable to manually cycle the slide to eject the unfired round because the lead is hanging up at the end of the chamber.
I measured the stock barrel from the breech face to the edge of the chamber and its exactly the same length as the LW barrel. When I plunk test the OEM barrel it sticks as well.
When I seat the boolit in the case the square edge of the semi wad cutter is sticking out past the case end about the thickness of your fingernail. If I seat the boolit deeper so the edge of the SWC shoulder is even with the end of the case I fear that it will build too much pressure in the case.
Any ideas guys?
