9MM Lead bullet
Quote from Reloader on January 21, 2015, 9:27 pmI have loaded some 9mm lead round nose bullets. All of the required specs are in tolerance. The round will chamber in all of my 9mm guns except the Springfield XDs. Any ideas?

Quote from Reloader on January 22, 2015, 7:06 pmThe 2 most likely options are that the bullet is seated out too far, and therefor hitting the rifling in the barrel, or the loaded cartridge isn't crimped enough. If the cast bullet you are using has a shoulder, no more than .010" of the shoulder should be above the case mouth. The crimp at the case mouth should measure .378-.379" on a loaded cartridge
