Tapper Crimp 9mm

Anth · April 1, 2015, 12:27 PM

I'm experiencing feed/chambering issues with my 124 grain, copper plated bullet in once or more than once fired brass with a 1.15 COL using CCI 500 pistol primers and 3.7 grains of TiteGroup powder. My bullets are Ranier round nosed. The slide is not completely sliding forward. It plinks properly in both my gauge and the barrel of my Kahr PM9.
I'm feeling it's related to my taper crimp (unless more experienced re-loading offer other potential causes). I'm looking for suggestions on caliper measurements for the crimp. I'm seeing .356 and .375. Input would be appreciated.
