Tallchain,

Had the same problem.. I tried just about everything...and still many misfires. I wrote to Ruger---sent it back...they fixed it and it works just fine now...they never did tell me what they did to fix it. It even will shoot short cases. I have found that using a stell sizer die will lengthen the brass more than will a carbide sizer die..but I don't know why that is. In the .45 Colt I find a steel sizer die sizes the cases better as well...the carbide sizer sizes them too much.
