I'm new to realoading, I have reloaded about 600 rounds of 45acp. I have used the same 250 cases for these reloads. All of these loads have been the smallest charge for the 200 cast swc.
The first couple of loads fit the cylinder of my smith 625 without a problem. On my last reload I found that the round sat off the cylinder face about 1/16 of an inch. Removing the round I found a bulge in the case where the base of the bullet was sitting in the case. If I take the same bullet and load it into a new case it fits fine. My question is. Does this mean that the case is worn out? Or am I making some rookie mistake?
