I had problems with moon clips of ammo not wanting to drop in when I was doing a speed load during a match. So I started gauging all my loaded rounds.. I was getting about a 25% + drop-out. Just slightly not going into the gauge.


They worked fine in my 1911's. But, when you tried to drop 6 of them in a revolver at one time,, they sometimes didn't go.. ( Just slightly off times six,, makes a bunch. )

Lee makes a pass thru die called a Bulge Buster , which resizes the whole brass.. Haven't had any problems with them not dropping in since.
( I use and like Ranch Product moon clips in all my 45 acp revolvers. I prefer other brands of moonclips for the 610 , 627 , & 929 )
