svandamme,
Here's a good test when working up a new load or using a new bullet.
Remove barrel from slide, drop new round in chamber.
The round should be flush with the end of the barrel and should make a nice ping sound.
If it makes a thud, and the head (back of round) of the bullet isn't flush with the barrel, the bullet could be hitting the lands (rifling) of the barrel.
There are a couple things to look at.
1) case length. 2) Over all length. 3) undersized chamber 4) bad bullet profile.
Hope you get it worked out.
Greg
