Lee 358-105 SWC in the BG 2.0?

[leadhead2]

Anybody shooting this bullet in there S&W BG 2.0? I can't get them to chamber as they
jam into the top of the barrel and seem to be trying to go in at a steep angle.
Any help or suggestions would be great, Thanks.

I don't know what a BG 2.0 is, but try varying the bullet seating depth in small increments; testfire 10 rounds with each new seating depth. If that doesn't work, the bullet is likely unsuitable for your gun.

That bullet was designed for use in revolvers, and is probably going to be too short to function in a pistol.

Here is some information that might be useful:

Well, I got it to work. It has to be seated with the top band flush with the case mouth.
I also had to size them .356 dia. for them to cycle.
Still some playing around to do with them, but they will work.

Was looking to start reloading some of these today. They shoot great in my .38s. I also have a MP TC 8 cavity mold that rains bullets. Sorted 9MM brass yesterday, about 1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket, guessing ~3,000+.

I have a WWII era Walther P-38 in 9mm Luger that loves the little Lee 358-105-SWC ,,, it feeds , chambers and ejects like it was made for it .
I size the bullet to .357" and seat the bullet almost to the top edge of the top driving band ... leave a thumbnail thickness of driving band exposed and taper crimp to hold .
A midrange powder charge (4.7 grs. AA #2) and the bullet hits to the P-38;s sights ... a accurate load easy on pistol and shooter .
I Love this bullet in 9mm Luger ... try it !
