Thank you for the advice.
Picked up 50 at 0.430 will load and try them this week.

Loaded 20 at 1700 fps, fired 3 before I checked the barrel, already started to show signs of lead fouling.


OK,

Broken record time.....did you EVER try to load a dummy round with the fattest bullet to see if it chambered and functioned?

Its okay if the coating is peeled in the process, so long as it chambers and functions.

Jamming tight is obviously no good, chambering and tight is golden.....

Dummy rounds with the larger bullets won't chamber.

Not that I would be inclined to pull the trigger on a 6 thou oversized hard cast projectile

Okay.

Are there smaller ones that do chamber without undue effort? What do they measure?
That is the size die to get, maybe .001 less if it makes you more comfortable.
