Thanks for your reply, I do just barely bell the case mouth. I do have a Dillon case gauge, thats what made the problem readily apparent. I sized and tapercrimped my loads to where I could set them on the table and set the case gauge over them and pick it back up off the rounds with no sticking. Finally heard that case gauges are manufacured to minumum SAMMI specs, and Glock chambers are at maximum specs so no more case gauge. barely belling the cases, no crimp, then testing neck tension by cycling a couple rounds thru gun by hand, then remeasure OAL to see if any bullet set back has occured, none has. miked the outside of case below mouth and compared with various factory rounds, always within .001 of factory, should be good. My Colt likes em'
