Furrly Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The 40 Cal hundo xl is made for longer OAL and coated bullets.. The xl Hundo has Tighter tollarances then most barrels.. Any round that does not just drop in I will recheck in my barrel.. Which is very few.. If they don't easily drop into my barrel then the round goes into My practice bin.. That simple..

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk in this case check your crimp die setup, and your rounds with a caliper. Based on this info, you’re not crimping enough to get the case mouth back to spec. I had the same problem with my taper crimp die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchaas Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Crimp is adequate. Even with jacketed bullets, many require a push, not drop in, some won’t fit at all, unlike with the 9mm Hundo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for coated bullets. rch Were the coated bullets sold as a different (bigger) diameter than the plated bullet? Did you measure them? I push all the coated bullets I buy through a Lee sizing die before loading them. This unifies the diameter and removes any variation. I know, an added step to the process but something you might try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
