Road Clam,
Bevel your chamber mouths. A nice shaved ball does not mean a nice fit. The ASP Remingtons I have had (about 7 of them) had very shallow but very deep (about 1/8" deep) beveling of the chamber mouths to prevent ball creep and help align conicals. On my own pistols with ball creep (a Walker and 1 or 2 other Colts) I used a counter sink drill bit to do a 45 degree bevel but a shallower angle like with an 11 degree forcing cone reamer would be better.
