Can the Case Guage be off?
Quote from Reloader on January 30, 2013, 3:33 pmI am reloading .45 colt with a Dillon 550 and Dillon Dies. I made a couple of bullets last pm that I most likely over flared. They fit perfectly into my .45 colt Dillon case guage, but did not fit into the chamber of my Judge revolver. The bulltets seemed to Crimp OK which I thought should take out the slight over flare that I created. So why would the bullet fit into the case guage and not my barrel?

Thanks
