Titegroup burns hot and those bullets are way too hard. Bullets that hard are for full power loads, but with good coating they should work...maybe they slipped through and the coating wasn't properly cured or without getting good coverage or any at all.

Call them up and have them ship you some bullets that actually have some lube in the grooves and your problem should go away.

Or you can lube them... take some LBT soft and use your fingers to fill the grooves.

Or get a bottle of Lee Liquid Alox and fingers or paint it on the bullet shank with a 3/8" artist paint brush. Maybe 2 coats in the grooves. Set it on plastic or aluminum foil to dry between coats.

Sounds like a lot of work but it only takes 5 minutes to do 100 bullets.

Coated bullets as from Bayou Bullets are a reliable product that won't lead with any load.
