I recently bought a new Blackhawk in .45LC so naturally I had to get all sorts of reloading supplies for it. Initially I bought some Winchester brass and some 300 grain Hornady XTP's-- loading these up was uneventful, no issues. These are .452 bullets.
Yesterday I bought a box of Nosler 250 grain .451 bullets labeled .45 Colt. The bullets just dropped right into the unsized new brass. After I resized the brass with Hornady dies, they could easily be pushed in and, even after crimping the hell out of them, they still backed out under recoil (Ruger only loads, of course).
What's up with this? Has anyone else tried the Noslers and found them to be undersized? It seems really strange that they were so loose. When I measured them with my calipers they seemed to be about .4505 or so.
Seems odd. I've never had problems with anything Nosler before.
