I'm loading 9 mm using .356 diameter lead round nose bullets. They chamber and fire in my sr9c . When I send them through my cartrage gauge most don't drop even . Im thinking its the bulge and the .356 diameter of the lead round. Any thoughts on what I can do to improve this? I guess one way may be going to a plated or FMJ but I have a thousand of these bullets and I'm gonna use them. Also , those of you using lead bullets. I noticed that some of these lead bullets have a seam on them . The seam is right down the center where I guess 2 mold halves met. Normal? Or bad fit and finish? I assume this affects accuracy considerably. I'm going to post this lead bullet question on a new thread.
