[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3752731, member: 15054"] Thinking here on those of you that size the loaded case in the sizing die. You are pinching the case way down and if shooting plain lead bullet you may get some lead build up. And sizing that way may kill some of the accuracy. And then there is the fact most people shoot their pistols pretty close range and will never notice any issue with accuracy. Another issue when sizing a loaded round in the sizing die is the case will spring back more than the projectile. You then have a projectile that can be easily pushed into the case. In fact easy enough to push in that when you chamber it in some weapons the bullet will be pushed in to the top of the powder. If you can size it in the sizing die while loaded then measure the OAL of the loaded round and then chamber it and remeasure. I know some 1911 regular ammo will get set back a couple thousandths which is kind of normal. But do it with your sized rounds and see if it goes in way too much. Just trying to keep you guys from having other issues. [/QUOTE]
