I use an inertia bullet puller on my BP 45 Colt loads. Never had a problem and didn't realize there could be one.

What are the details of your 45 Colt loads? Specifically, what kind of powder, how many grains, and is there a wad or card in there?

I load with 40 grains GOEX 3Fg, 0.030 vegetable wad, and a 250 grain RNFP bullet. I use a drop tube and a compression plug to make room for the wad and bullet. My cartridge OAL is 1.585" using these bullets.

Can you just seat your 255 grain bullet deeper?
