New to reloading. Loaded up some SWC 185g lead bullets with 4.8g of red dot. Made sure all measurements were within spec but didn't really bin by any measurements.
First 50 rounds I loaded shot and cycled fine.
Then loaded another 50 at 4.8 and another 50 at 5.0. Noticed for both loads that the slide frequently won't full close. It stops about 1/4 inch shy of fully closing. Noticed this when I pulled the trigger and it didn't fire. The firing pin never touched the primer.
Taking the barrel out the cartridge easily fits in the chamber and doesn't appear to hang up.
I have some ideas to figure out what it could be but interested for any advice.
Shooting these through a Ruger KP345.
Thanks,
Carpy
