I am currently casting for my XDM .45. I am using two different Lee molds. I am shooting the 200 SWC and the 230 TC. The TC is giving me better groups, so far. I am sizing using a .452 lyman sizing die, lubed with Carnauba Red. I am having a problem with a few of the rounds not chambering correctly every shooting session. It seems that lube is getting inside the chamber and keeping some of the following rounds from chambering. If I drop the round in the chamber by itself and release the slide, it will fire and eject normally. I have this problem even after wiping the noses of the all the boolits to make sure there is no lube outside of the case. I am using a Lee FCD. BTW this load is showing absolutely zero leading, so I think I have the boolit sized and lubed correctly. The SWC had a few chambering issues but I dropped the seating depth a little more and the feeding issues disappeared. The 230 TC cannot be seated any deeper without crimping on the cone part of the boolit. Has anyone run into this before?
Thanks,
Todd
