Hi.
I noticed in my 9mm case gauge, it seems to get gunked up after checking a bunch cast bullet reloads. The rounds need a gentle push to go completely inyo the case gauge. I never got this with jacketed. I loaded up jacketed right after on my dillon with everything set up the same. After cleaning out the gauge with a brass brush, those drop like supposed to and get that "plunk"
I micd both loads out and they are identical with the exception of a little oal variance
Using a dillon case gauge.
Cast load:
NOE 358128g hp sized and lubed to .357, rcbs lam 2 with carnuba red heated
Jacketed load
MG 124gr jhp
both case necks mic out the same after seating and crimp
Is this a normal thing with cast ( maybe the bullet lube)
Thanks for any input
