    I resize with a Lee punch to .357 after powder coating.

    My melt is SN 1% SB 2.57% PB 96.4% @ 11.3 BHN. I use SOWW + Hardball.

    I reload with RCBS carbide dies and use a very slight bell; just enough where the base will sit in the brass. I apply a slight crimp whereby the loaded cartridge, when bullet end is pressed hard against the bench, will not set back into the case. COAL 1.080.

    Powder coated boolits yield 124.6gr - 125.2gr. and .3575 - .358.

    I shoot WSF powder on the upper side yielding 1055fps - 1095fps in different barrel lengths. All Glock pistols.

    No leading or tumbling with acceptable accuracy to 15 yards. Shots are off-hand on clay targets.

    I would slug the barrel and check sizing.
