I related some months ago that I was having this problem using my RIA .45. (See http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=31010&highlight=jam )
The general consensus was to try another mag (I did, same problem) or to seat the bullet out farther, or just ditch the Lee 200 gr SWC mold alltogether.
Well you know what the solution was?
Seating the bullet DEEPER- so that the trunk of the body was seated BELOW the case edge, ever so slightly. The loaded rounds LOOK pretty funny now, but they feed 100% reliably- 200 rounds worth anyhow, still testing. :-D
Just thought anyone with the same issue with this bullet might like the info.
