Ok im attempting reloading my couple of rounds... I took the barrel out of my 45 to see how the case and bullet fit in there.. seems to fit pretty good... a case with no bullet fits a little loose.. a case with a bullet fits about right.. it doesnt rattle around quite as much as the no bullet case... Is this right?

ALSO

I took a lead bullet and just tried to drop it through the barrel... SHOULDNT it fall straight through?? These are not falling through.... i tried putting the back of the bullet up to the end of the barrel, and it would not even fit in there....

Something seems wrong? I would think the bullet would fit in and bout with no problems..... I dont want the bullet to get jammed in the barrel distroying the gun!
