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.
