[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3381748, member: 15054"] The feed ramp on barrel and frame is polished from factory like chrome. It is beautiful..I am not messing with that at all. The gap is a non issue to me that is not where things hang up. 10 and 2 o'clock on the chamber was the issue. Yes I sized these after casting then lubed them with alox and then removed all the alox after a year of sitting and powder coated them and then sized them again. .452" I built some loads to try and I did remove the barrel and drop the round into the barrel to determine what AOL was able to chamber and I went smaller shorter than that by .010" to be on the safe side and should be no rounds that do not fully chamber because of a too long bullet seating depth. I made 15 rounds of each bullet I have. Xtreme plated .451" 230gr. Lee 200gr Powder coated tumble lube style bullet. And a bullet my other 45's love the 250 gr XTP .452" [/QUOTE]
