So I've been reloading for a few years, but up until now I've shot auto pistols and rifles. Becasue I was shooting these guns I've always reloaded jacketed or plated bullets. I recently got a few revolvers and wanted to really load some super-accurate stuff, so I settled on 38 Special hollow-base wadcutters.
The problem I've been having is that I've tried two different brands of bullets and both have gotten an excessive amount of lube and leading inside the die body, which has also worked to mess with the seating depth. I've been seating and crimping in seperate operations, but it doesn't seem to make a difference...lead still gets in the die body.
Has anybody had these problems with cast bullets? Dies are RCBS, using a single-stage press.
