Not new to reloading. Problem I can not solve. Lee 3 die kit, mixed brass. 158 gr lead SWC and 158 gr coated RNFP, 4.2 grains Unique powder.
Most reloads are too tight to fit in chamber. Varies from only able to insert 1/2 of cartridge,to almost fully seat but not deeply enough to allow cylinder to turn. Some drop in easily. Cartridge OAL within normal limits.
No difference which brass is used. No revolver chamber is tighter than another. All brass measures normal length. No bulging found. Brass drops in easily after sizing/depriming operation.
Lee seating/crimp die. I have tried different crimp tension and different bullet seating depths, always using crimp groove. Once I think I have got it solved,same problem over and over again.
Can not think of anything else to try. Is it something I am doing wrong ,but now wondering if it could be the die?? Never a problem with my other caliber reloads.
