Looking at the photo the fired bullet appears to be a lot smaller in diameter. The bullet should measure .452 but if it measures even .449 it can't stay in a fired case. Now we need to know the diameter of the fired bullet. If the bullet was really soft and the pressure just right it could maybe distort a bullet. I did that to a Remington wad cutter. That is the base of the bullet in the brass. The bullet nose actually hit the 25 yard target. I have some 200 grain loaded with 4.7 of bullseye and I used to shoot 5 grains in bullseye with a Clark Heavy slide. 4.5 is my best target load with a 200. Heavy leading is a bullet lube problem or <probably not> the wrong size. The gun is telling you it don't like those bullets at that speed. I shoot a lot of 4 grains at 25 with a soft bullet in 45 acp. The bullet could have had an air pocket?
