Have been loading with this setup for years.
With the powder I use I have to empty the hopper after loading and apply some graphite on the drum to keep it from sticking.
-
Deburr the brass on the inside...
-
Maybe the initial hole, before they cut the slots, was too big. You could measure it with a pin gage set, I suppose. Then measure when the slots are closed in the die.

CBC brass is thinner so it expands and seals better with my Blackpowder loads.

Is that crimp supposed to keep the bullet from going outward or inward?
Outward, with Blackpowder I fill the case so the bullet compresses the powder a little.
I had blowby with my 45Colt rifle and that went away with my slightly larger sizerdie and CBC brass and I use the same sizer for 45CS
That also helpes with case life BTW
shooting the same batch for 8 years now...

Laughter, no way, you know shooting is a serious sport... ;-)
Good to hear you are getting back in.
So, accordeon out, guns in?
...if you shoot blackpowder you'll have an excuse for the misses ;-)

I have a Lyman sizer and Pacific 45 ACP dies for the 45 CS
...forgot to mention that they make a beautiful roll crimp...
Because of the slightly bigger sizer die I can thumb seat the bullets so I need a good roll crimp.. -
I've only used roundball in cartridges to get POA/POI with my Pietta 1858 conversion like with the percussion cilinder, that, more or less, worked.
For a long time now I'm using the J/P 200 in my 45 CS and 45 Colt with 18 grains blackpowder (cous cous as a filler for 45 Colt)
I have a Lyman sizer and Pacific 45 ACP dies for the 45 CS. The sizer die is a litlle bit bigger then standard, so I get straight wall cartridges.

where did you get the brass powder hopper?
I made it myself, glued a brass tube in the Uniflow body..

This is my set up.....
Piggyback with modified Uniflow (brass hopper) and Lee Pro Auto Disk for fillers.
Using it for 10 years now.

I forgot to add that I measured some Hornady Leverevolution rounds and some Winchester Super X factory loads and from the top to the bottom just as I had measured in the prior post they were .475" at all 3 points on both manufacturer's rounds.
Like my ammo, does it kick out those too?
In my opinion the "fat" middle part of the cartridge keeps it hanging between the guides...
-
My cartridge outside diameter is 0,475 and they are 1,506 long.
I shoot Black Powder 99% of the time with CBC brass. Uptill now I have had no problems with stovepiping and ejecting of live rounds.
I found that CBC brass gives a better seal.
My sizing die has been reamed out to 0.473

I'm using MagTech brass and had my sizer enlarged to .472 and that works for me.
MagTech brass is thinner and expands very well, I also use the 200 gr Biglube bullets.
The brass still fits in my Rugers after sizing and if they start to split I will cut them down to Cowboy Special length.
-
I cut them to 60 mm, just were the folds begin, and use a #4 rollcrimptool from GAEP.

I'm using their large pistol primers for the last 7 years or so, never had a FTF, my springs are not the super zoomy kind.
I uniformed my primer pockets, with a specific brand of brass I had high primers
...... and overhere they're the cheapest ;-)
.22 as Main Match guns

I took a bit of the leg pushing the loading gate, found that the spring was interfering with the bolt stop, not rising to the end and causing over rotation.
Side effect was a lighter loading gate ;-)
