I have had no feed problems, just failure to remove the empty from the barrel. Most of my brass has been fired in a revolver before. I have an RCBS carbide resizing die that is supposed to be full length. The case goes in entirely but I have notice a little bulge at the bottom just above the rim. I have not measured or trimmed the cases. This may be something to check in to. I did notice the last time I was shooting that the casing is pulled back about 2mm, so it would seem the extractor is just slipping around the rim. It always removes the casing when I close the slide and pull it back by hand. I would like to try the lee die, I use a single stage press so an extra step is no big deal. I do use a taper crimp.

Anyone live in the Northern Virginia/Manassas area, maybe we can compare loads.

Thanks for the suggestions
