That is a plain base boolit and no it doesn't have the issues that some of the LBT designs do. LBT boolits have a full diameter area ahread of the crimping groove. If ones chamber has a shot lead into the cylinder throats then this full diameter area will halt forward progress into the chamber.

Going to do some experimenting as I think that the problem is that the boolit isn't going far enough into the sizing die without filling the crimping groove with lube. On the boolits shot above I had to resize each boolit a second time deeper into the die with no grease pressure built up to get them into the chambers of the Freedom Arms. I also just received a .409 sizing die that may take care of the problem the first pass...
